Cheryl Sessoms

Cheryl Sessoms is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and career concerns. Cheryl aims to make the first step easier for people who are nervous about starting therapy.

She creates a calm space where clients can speak openly about hard feelings without judgment. Sessions are meant to help people sort through what matters most to them and find practical next steps. Cheryl listens closely and reflects what she hears so clients can better understand their thoughts and reactions.

Her work often centers on helping people manage panic, cope with loss, and rebuild confidence after difficult experiences. She also supports people dealing with loneliness and questions about life purpose. Conversations combine understanding what happened with ideas for small, manageable changes.

Cheryl draws on several approaches to tailor support to each person. She uses client-centered methods to follow a client's lead, emotionally focused methods to work with feelings, mindfulness to help people stay present, and solution-focused ideas to set clear goals. The aim is useful, down-to-earth help rather than complex theory.

If someone wants to begin, Cheryl asks them to take the initial step and complete a short matching questionnaire. From there, scheduling happens according to her availability and the client's needs.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client's lead, offering active listening and reflection to help people make sense of their feelings and choices. It can be helpful for stress, low confidence, and life decisions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on feelings and attachment patterns, helping people name their emotions and shift how they relate to painful experiences. This approach is often useful when grief, trauma, or strong emotional reactions are central concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative decision-making helps ensure therapy fits the person’s needs rather than forcing a single style.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing commute time or allowing shorter check-ins during a workday. Because this biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. The focus online remains the same - listening, working with emotions, and finding practical steps toward clearer thinking and steadier feelings.
