About Cheryl

Cheryl Scopinich is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 19 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, relationship strain, addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, and difficulties coping with life changes. Cheryl also addresses issues such as intimacy struggles, body image and eating concerns, parenting stress, caregiver fatigue, and work or career worries.

Cheryl emphasizes straightforward, person-focused work in session. She uses practical conversation to identify patterns that keep someone stuck. Together they look at thoughts, behaviors, and values to develop clearer choices. Her style mixes listening with concrete strategies clients can try between meetings.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy, alongside Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy. Those methods are used to help with mood regulation, unhelpful thinking, motivation for change, and reworking stories people tell about themselves.

Sessions are aimed at helping people notice what matters to them and to practice small changes that fit daily life. Cheryl supports people working through grief, trauma, family-related concerns, and chronic health or caregiving stress. She also addresses abandonment, attachment, and blended family issues in therapy.

Cheryl practices in Pennsylvania and conducts work in English. If someone wants to start, they typically complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the approach fits their needs.

How Cheryl’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and commit to small actions that align with those values despite uncomfortable feelings. It can help with chronic shame, avoidance, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing practical changes in behavior to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes careful listening and respect for the client’s pace, helping people feel understood as they consider change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl collaborates with each person to figure out which methods match their goals and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the mix of strategies as therapy proceeds.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm exact options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or not needing to travel to an appointment. It can also allow for different ways to use time together, such as focused skills practice, narrative work about difficult events, or pacing sessions around medical or caregiving demands. Licensed professionals, including Cheryl, help clients choose a rhythm and format that fits their routines and goals.
