About Cheryl
Cheryl Hann is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and an LCMHC, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, practicing in North Carolina with ten years of professional experience. She helps people who are carrying worries about stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career struggles, and depression. She also lists support for issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, and concerns around intimacy and body image.
Cheryl draws on client-centered work to keep conversations focused on the person sitting across from her. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot thinking patterns that keep shame and guilt active. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered when people need concrete ways to manage strong emotions and stay grounded.
Her background includes work with active duty military and veterans, and study in Hispanic and Chicano cultural perspectives. The original biography notes university-level Spanish testing and training related to religious trauma and life after involvement in high-demand religions. These experiences inform how she talks about identity, faith, and family issues in sessions.
In practical terms she describes adapting dialog and plans to fit individual concerns. That can mean short, focused coaching-style conversations when someone needs motivation or decision support, or more extended work when grief, trauma, or longstanding shame are present. She frames the work as collaborative, with attention to specific goals.
People looking for help with guilt or shame linked to relationships, faith, or past actions will find her list those concerns among her areas of focus. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats through the therapist's scheduling process.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered work means sessions begin with the person's own concerns and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects what she hears, and helps clients choose what to focus on next. This approach suits people who need space to name and make sense of guilt or shame tied to relationships, faith, or life choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep painful feelings active. In a few sessions CBT can help identify patterns of thinking that worsen shame and teach practical ways to test and change those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful attention when feelings feel overwhelming; these skills are useful when shame triggers strong reactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide whether brief, focused coaching-style sessions or longer therapeutic work best matches goals and needs. That decision is based on what the client wants to address and how they respond to early sessions.
The biography does not specify session delivery methods, so confirm current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options that do not require travel. Licensed professionals adapt pacing and techniques so that CBT exercises or DBT skill practice fit regular routines without promising a particular outcome.
