Dr. Cheryl Mansfield, LICSW, LCSW

Dr. Cheryl Mansfield offers help for stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, and burnout. She is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with two decades of experience in mental health. She sees people who are coping with big changes, compassion fatigue, and complicated family or caregiving roles.

She takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. Sessions start by listening to what matters most and identifying a few concrete goals. Then she and the client try practical tools that fit daily life, not just therapy sessions. The goal is to reduce intense feelings and build skills that last.

Her work blends short-term, goal-oriented techniques and deeper exploration of patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused steps are commonly used. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help changing habits like substance use.

Dr. Mansfield has provided psychotherapy across outpatient clinics, hospitals, and military settings. That background informs a flexible style that aims to meet people where they are. She emphasizes strengths and helps people notice what already works for them.

Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. People can expect a warm, respectful space to talk, practical strategies to try between sessions, and collaboration on next steps toward feeling more able to handle life’s demands.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist reflects what someone says and helps them notice their own strengths, which can ease conversations about relationships, stress, and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses clear, practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with grief, trauma responses, and compassion fatigue.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and daily routines and then suggest strategies to try. Clients and the therapist review what helps and adjust the plan together so the approach fits the person's life and goals.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and worksheet sharing. Phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy days.
