Cheryl Broome, LCSW

Cheryl Broome is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience who uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people manage stress and anxiety. She combines cognitive behavioral ideas with narrative and solution-focused work to help clients find clearer ways to cope. Cheryl is based in Texas and offers sessions in English.

She focuses on trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and addictive behaviors. Cheryl also supports people dealing with low self-esteem, motivation problems, and relationship challenges. Her work includes attention to caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and complications when more than one condition is present.

Cheryl aims to help people identify thinking patterns that get in the way and try small, doable changes to test new approaches. She uses storytelling techniques to help clients reframe painful experiences and solution-focused steps to set immediate, practical goals. Sessions are conversational and centered on what the client wants to change.

With two decades of practice, Cheryl draws on real-world experience across a range of situations. She pays attention to how past family dynamics, discrimination, or first-responder stressors can affect current functioning. Her approach is steady and results-oriented, while remaining respectful of each person’s pace.

People typically work with her to reduce symptoms, build confidence, and create concrete plans for coping. Cheryl invites clients to take small steps, track progress, and adjust plans as needed. She encourages people to see themselves as capable of change and growth.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Cheryl uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on small experiments and clear skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

She also uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell their stories in new ways. This approach examines how past events and family patterns shape current beliefs and opens space for new meanings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts methods as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls are good for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit short breaks or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions or use shorter, focused support without scheduling a full call.

These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or medical needs while trying approaches like CBT exercises or narrative reflection in everyday life.
