Cheryl Slaight

Cheryl Slaight is a licensed social worker with 24 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and anger. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about what they are feeling and thinking. Cheryl encourages small, doable steps toward greater well-being and clearer choices.

Her approach centers on listening and responding to each person's needs. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person's perspective central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical alternatives.

Cheryl also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice their reactions and reduce overwhelm. Solution-Focused Therapy guides short-term goal setting and practical problem solving. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change.

Over two decades of practice have included work with trauma, domestic violence, and grief, and she has supported people facing chronic illness and pain. She also helps those navigating divorce and separation by focusing on coping skills and clear decision steps.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and action-oriented when helpful, while leaving room for emotional processing. Cheryl helps people build simple tools for managing mood, improving communication, and reducing daily stress. She invites prospective clients to take the first step toward clearer direction and steadier days.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Cheryl uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the client's experience and priorities. That means sessions start by hearing what matters most and following the client's pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low mood and then tests practical changes to those patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl discusses goals and preferences, then collaborates to try methods that fit the client's life and needs. Adjustments are made along the way if something isn't working.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to use mindfulness exercises and behavioral skills in the moments they arise in daily life.
