About Cheryl

LMFT in Connecticut with 30 years of experience, Cheryl Curtiss helps people address stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. She also supports those facing parenting challenges, intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and anger difficulties, and struggles with self-esteem, career, or mood changes. Sessions are conducted in English. Cheryl asks new clients to use the site workflow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Cheryl approaches work in a straightforward, practical way. She focuses on talking through current problems and identifying small changes that make daily life easier. Conversations look at patterns in relationships and family history that affect how people relate now. She pays attention to events like divorce, postpartum depression, or midlife shifts when they shape stress and mood.

Her practice also addresses specific family-related concerns such as abandonment, blended family issues, family of origin problems, infidelity, and hoarding. Cheryl aims to help people sort through feelings tied to loss, separation, and major life transitions. She uses methods grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and set clear goals.

Clients can expect a direct, respectful approach that focuses on what matters most to them. Cheryl encourages practical steps for coping, improving communication, and managing emotions. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches guide online work

Cheryl uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to focus on present problems and concrete change. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful patterns in relationships and behavior, then testing small new ways of relating; this helps with relationship issues, intimacy concerns, and family tensions. Another approach concentrates on managing anxiety and mood through practical skills such as breathing, behavior activation, and routine changes that reduce distress and improve daily function.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Cheryl discusses the options with each person and together they pick methods that match the client’s goals and preferences. She adjusts plans over time based on what is helping and what isn’t, so the work fits the person rather than the other way around.

Confirm the therapist's session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep continuity with sessions while they address stress, relationships, parenting, grief, or mood concerns.
