Cheryl Breining, LCSW

Cheryl Breining is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, ADHD concerns, and midlife transitions. She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable. Cheryl frames therapy as a cooperative process where clients set the pace and goals.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental space so people can talk about what’s on their mind. Sessions focus on practical steps that make day-to-day life easier, such as clearer communication, managing impulses, and building confidence. Cheryl encourages small, achievable changes that add up over time.

Her style centers on support and empowerment rather than quick fixes. She listens closely, reflects what she hears, and works with clients to try out new ways of handling stress and relationship strain. Topics often include parenting strategies, navigating divorce or separation, and finding renewed purpose during midlife.

With three years of professional experience, Cheryl draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She explains concepts plainly and helps people practice skills between meetings. The goal is to leave each session with at least one useful step to try.

People meet Cheryl to address issues like social anxiety, control struggles, forgiveness, and self-love. She works in English in Florida and supports clients who want to take a practical, steady approach to change.

How evidence-based techniques fit into online therapy

Cheryl uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in straightforward, practical ways. She focuses on approaches that help with managing anxiety and building skills for everyday life. For example, one technique involves learning concrete tools to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns so anxiety and stress become easier to manage. This approach helps with worries, social anxiety, and low self-esteem.

Another common focus is skills training for impulse control and parenting. These methods teach step-by-step strategies clients can practice between meetings to improve communication, reduce reactive behavior, and handle parenting stress more calmly. These techniques are designed to be practiced in daily life rather than only discussed in sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl collaborates with each person to identify what fits their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts methods over time and checks in to see what is helping and what should change.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Speak with Cheryl during the matching process to learn which session formats are offered and which will best fit your schedule.
