Cheryl Crosley-Culberson, LPC

Cheryl Crosley-Culberson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people address addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and challenges around intimacy and relationships. Cheryl aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.

She creates a welcoming space where people can say what they are feeling and thinking without judgment. Sessions emphasize practical steps and honest conversation. Cheryl encourages clients to build motivation and daily habits that support recovery and emotional stability.

Her work often centers on understanding patterns that lead to impulsive choices or relationship strain. She helps clients name those patterns and try different ways of responding. Topics she commonly addresses include attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, and caregiving stress.

Cheryl also supports people facing mood and anxiety concerns such as depression, panic, and social anxiety. She addresses body image, self-love, and life-purpose questions in straightforward language. The focus is on real-world strategies that can be tested between sessions.

Over time, Cheryl helps people strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, and regain a clearer sense of direction. People who want a practical, compassionate ally for change may find her approach helpful. For those coming from a caregiving role, she lists Supporting carers as a focus to reflect that work with caregiver issues and stress.

Approaches you can expect in online sessions

Cheryl uses a mix of well-known methods to help people manage difficult feelings and make changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then choosing actions that match personal values; it is often helpful for motivation, anxiety, and living with urges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, moods, and actions and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns; this approach is commonly used for depression, panic, and social anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions in relationships and helps people respond to one another in more connected ways.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then collaborate on which methods to try. She adapts techniques to fit what feels useful rather than insisting on a single method.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time so someone can meet between errands or during a lunch break. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for timing and session length during your initial scheduling.
