Cheryl Sessoms , LPC

Cheryl Sessoms is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 20 years of professional experience. As an LPC, she holds a credential that denotes specialized training to provide counseling and therapeutic support to individuals and families.

Over two decades she has worked with people managing stress and anxiety, processing trauma and abuse, navigating grief and loss, and strengthening self-esteem and confidence. She also brings experience in addressing career-related concerns and supports clients dealing with isolation or loneliness, questions of life purpose, panic attacks, and the development of self-love.

Cheryl emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly about their thoughts and emotions. She collaborates with each person to identify goals and practical strategies that fit their life and values. Acknowledging that starting therapy often requires courage, Cheryl aims to meet clients with empathy and steady support as they take that first step toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care options

Cheryl often draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on the client’s perspective and the therapeutic relationship. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting clients to explore their own values and solutions, making it useful for issues like low self-esteem, life purpose, and general stress.

She also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) techniques to help people identify and work with strong emotions. EFT supports clients in understanding emotional patterns that underlie anxiety, grief, and trauma, and it can help create more adaptive responses to painful feelings.

Mindfulness-based methods are used to build present-moment awareness and practical coping skills for anxiety, panic, and stress. These techniques teach simple practices that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Cheryl works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy makes those approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, allow work to continue from different locations, and can make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life.
