About

Hello, my name is Cheryl Scott, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida, USA. I have 25 years of experience providing counseling and psychotherapy. My counseling approach is solution focused and team oriented. In the team approach, you and I form a team. You will be an active participant in your therapy. I will construct an individualized treatment plan for you, and you will make life changes according to your plan. You will learn and practice new coping skills. You will learn from targeted worksheets and thought provoking questions. I will teach you effective journaling and set a balanced life schedule. In addition, I will point you to helpful reading and video materials. Through this process you will discover your deeper self and find the courage to change. I use a holistic approach to treatment from a mind, body, and spirit perspective. I am a Christian and provide insight from a Christian perspective. If you are ready to change your life, I am here to help you. I use a broad variety of treatment techniques including, but not limited to: Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Rational-Emotive Therapy (RET). I treat a variety of conditions including, but not limited to: anxiety, self-esteem and body image issues, relationship problems, lack of life purpose, career changes, ending grudges with forgiveness therapy, grief at work, codependency, and creating work-life balance. You can work with me in many ways. You can meet with me for a 45 minute weekly live phone or chat session. You can also work with me asynchronously through written or audio messages. In the messaging portion of the Find A Therapist app, you can discuss issues and do topical worksheets. My Weekly Live Session Schedule is on the Find A Therapist app. Message me if you do not find a session time/day that works for you, and I will let you know what options exist. In the interim between sessions, you can use the Asynchronous Messaging at any time. Note however, responses could be up to 24 hours on weekends and holidays. Weekday responses are generally within 12 hours. If you find that you need urgent messaging options, or your schedule differs too much from mine, you can easily change counselors in Find A Therapist to one that provides different options. If you are serious about a life change and are ready to work, contact me! My sincere regards, Cheryl Scott, MS LMHC Please note this is an online counseling platform and is not suitable for emergency situations.
