About Cheryl

Cheryl Miller Tivitt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or life changes. She also supports those facing parenting strain, sleep problems, and questions about mood or attention. Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth, and she aims to tailor conversations to each person’s goals.

Cheryl has worked in outpatient offices, community settings, and online. She uses practical strategies to address everyday worries and the effects of trauma. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, like managing anxious thoughts, improving sleep routines, or coping with caregiver stress.

She emphasizes sensitivity and compassion while matching treatment to what each person needs. That can mean short-term skill-building or longer talks about personal history and recovery. Cheryl pays attention to motivation and self-esteem as she helps people build confidence and steady routines.

Cheryl sees how hard the first step can be and offers a calm way to begin or return to therapy. She values the convenience of meeting remotely when that option is chosen and works to make scheduling fit everyday life. Her practice is based in Kentucky and sessions are conducted in English.

How Cheryl Uses CBT Online and What to Expect

Cheryl uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, stress, sleep disruption, and motivation by teaching concrete coping tools and step-by-step strategies.

She aims to match the approach to each person’s needs and goals. Together the therapist and client will decide whether to focus on short-term skills like anxiety management or on longer work around trauma and mood. The process is collaborative and adjusts as progress is made.

If you prefer to meet online, confirm the current session options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, let you avoid travel time, and allow brief check-ins between commitments. Cheryl has experience providing services on online platforms and will help you plan sessions that fit your routine and goals.
