About Cheryl
Cheryl Freimuth is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 25 years of counseling experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and depression, and lists additional focus areas such as guilt and shame, forgiveness, codependency, and end-of-life concerns.
Cheryl began her career teaching anatomy and biology at the high school level and later taught in a mental health program. Her background led her to teach human sexuality to counseling students while serving as an adjunct professor. That blend of classroom work and clinical practice informs how she explains sensitive topics and practical skills.
Her approach centers on Client-Centered Therapy as a foundation. She uses respect and straightforward conversation to help people notice their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy are part of her toolkit when people want concrete changes in thoughts, behavior, or daily routines.
Cheryl says she draws on a common-sense and eclectic style. Sessions tend to focus on improving communication, addressing intimacy questions, and working through life transitions such as divorce, midlife shifts, or caregiving around aging and hospice concerns. She also lists experience supporting people facing cancer and seasonal mood shifts.
She frames therapy as collaborative work. People can expect clear, practical conversation aimed at understanding patterns and testing small changes. Sessions are conducted in English in Florida, and international clients are not accepted.
How her approaches are used in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on clear, respectful conversation and helping people notice their own answers. That approach is useful for exploring feelings of guilt, shame, or relationship hurts without pushing a specific plan right away.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. In practice this might mean identifying unhelpful beliefs about oneself, testing those beliefs with small experiments, and trying new habits to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Solution-Focused Therapy aims for practical, short-term steps. It emphasizes small changes that add up, such as communication skills or brief behavioral adjustments for intimacy and relationship concerns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods together in a collaborative way. Clients have input on which techniques to keep or change as work progresses.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so conversations happen at a convenient moment.
