About Cheryl
Cheryl Tredway, LCPC, focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, and mood struggles. She aims to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about next steps. Cheryl writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person.
Cheryl has been practicing since 2012 and holds a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Counseling from Emporia State University. She draws on ten years of clinical work in Kansas and has experience supporting people facing addiction, grief, parenting strain, and career changes.
Background and approach
She also works with people navigating intimacy issues, ADHD, and identity concerns in LGBT communities. Her style is direct and warm. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical goals.
Humor is welcomed when it fits, and sessions emphasize small, usable steps rather than abstract talk. Cheryl blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and DBT strategies to build coping skills and shift unhelpful patterns. She also uses EMDR for processing traumatic memories when that approach seems appropriate.
The Gottman Method informs her work around relationship communication and repair. Sessions may include short skills practice, problem solving, and guided reflection. Cheryl helps people identify roadblocks and develop tools they can use between sessions.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at helping clients move forward. Cheryl offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Her practice follows Kansas licensing as an LCPC and services are provided in English.
Approaches that translate to online care
Cheryl uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s goals and experiences, giving space for people to lead the conversation while she listens and reflects. This approach helps when someone needs validation, clarity, and a plan that fits their life.She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day difficulties. Dialectical behavior therapy adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication when emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and help pick methods that fit you. That collaborative process aims to match techniques to your situation rather than applying a single model for everyone.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into your life. Video lets you work face to face when that matters, phone calls use less bandwidth, live chat offers a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, quieter surroundings, and different ways to practice skills between meetings.
