About Cheryl

Cheryl Crosley-Culberson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 21 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with addiction, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, and intimacy-related worries.

Background and approach

Cheryl aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings. She encourages small, steady steps toward change.

Cheryl supports clients who are coping with life transitions and who want to feel more confident in themselves. She also helps people address relationship concerns and issues around intimacy in direct, practical ways.

Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and communication problems. Cheryl also supports people dealing with control issues, impulsivity, and forgiveness.

She listens for underlying patterns and helps clients find more useful ways to respond. Cheryl uses a range of approaches to fit each person’s needs.

These include the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Client-Centered Therapy. She adapts techniques to everyday life so clients can try new skills between sessions.

Sessions are practical and straightforward. Cheryl helps people set goals, notice what gets in the way, and practice different ways of coping.

The focus is on what matters to the client and on building skills that make daily life easier.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Cheryl draws from the Gottman Method to look at communication patterns and interaction habits that affect closeness and conflict. This approach focuses on practical skills to improve how people talk and respond to each other. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and take meaningful action toward goals. ACT can be useful for mood problems, anxiety, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether Gottman tools, ACT practices, CBT strategies, DBT skills, or a client-centered stance best fits the current work.

Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and practice communication skills in real time. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter updates, ongoing reflection, and quick skill reminders between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while still getting consistent support from a licensed professional.
