Cheryl Thomas, LPCC

My experience spans nearly two decades working with many who struggle to find their way through different life challenges. I will collaborate with you to identify and attain goals. Getting to know you is the first step, and that is achieved through a variety of approaches grounded in family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, and understanding any types of trauma that may have been experienced. Many have had trauma, and what I have learned is that talking about the details of the trauma is not always helpful. It may be a component of healing, but there may be other ways to make progress. I utilize a combination of approaches to be helpful in working with clients. Some may include person-centered, solution focused, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). I work with ages 18 and up on mental health issues like depression, anxiety, grief, stress management, trauma, communication, and relationship issues. I enjoy seeing a client shift perspectives and report feeling more at peace as they reach their goals.

I have experience in different treatment settings in Ohio and enjoy working with those who have mental health and substance use disorders. I completed my doctorate degree in Counselor Education & Supervision in Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy in 2012.
