About Cheryl
Dr. Cheryl Rushing is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience. She supports people managing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. She emphasizes respectful, compassionate care and tailors conversation and plans to each person’s needs.
Dr. Rushing holds LPC credentials in Texas and Georgia and has worked in clinical settings over two decades. Her approach mixes practical strategies with attention to personal values and emotions. She listens for what matters most to each person and builds steps that fit daily life.
Sessions typically focus on helping people notice patterns that increase stress and replace them with manageable skills. Techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy help with changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas support staying grounded and clarifying values when life feels overwhelming.
She also uses client-centered and emotionally focused methods to strengthen emotional awareness and motivation. These approaches aim to increase self-understanding and build confidence to handle challenges. Conversations are collaborative, with the therapist and client shaping goals together.
Dr. Rushing asks about what’s working and what’s not, then adjusts the plan as needed. The emphasis is on practical, doable steps that can be used between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep stress and anxiety going and replacing them with more helpful responses. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping with difficult moments.Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. That decision can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or let someone avoid being on camera if preferred. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices so they work in everyday settings rather than relying on clinic-only tools.
