Cheryl Spence, LPCC

Cheryl Spence is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and parenting concerns. She speaks plain language and aims to make first steps feel doable for someone who is unsure or nervous about therapy. Cheryl acknowledges that reaching out takes courage and she welcomes that move forward.

Cheryl draws on more than a decade of professional counseling experience plus many earlier years in mental health work. She focuses on real concerns parents and caregivers often face, such as burnout, isolation, communication problems, and the stress of caregiving. She also supports people coping with panic, post-traumatic stress, and pregnancy or postpartum challenges.

In sessions she keeps the space open and nonjudgmental so people can say what they really feel. She uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, EMDR, and trauma-focused work to guide conversations and practical steps. That can mean noticing patterns of thinking, practicing grounding skills, or working through painful memories at a pace that feels manageable.

Cheryl aims to help clients build coping tools and clearer communication habits they can use outside of sessions. She tailors the work to each person’s goals and everyday life. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details to match their needs.

Cheryl practices in Ohio and works in English. Her credential is LPCC, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work can look like

Cheryl uses cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR as core parts of her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and focuses on small changes you can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety or depression. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, helps people process distressing memories in a paced way so those memories feel less triggering over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cheryl will work with each person to decide whether CBT tools, EMDR, mindfulness practice, or trauma-focused methods best match their goals and how quickly they want to move. This is a collaborative decision based on needs, preferences, and comfort with different techniques.

Practical benefits of doing this work online should be confirmed before booking since session formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the specific session options offered to find times and formats that match daily routines and caregiving responsibilities.
