About Cheryl

Dr. Cheryl Mansfield is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals and couples across outpatient clinics, hospitals, and military settings. She brings a calm, practical approach to exploring the stressors that affect daily functioning and relationships, helping clients build awareness of how those stressors operate and develop concrete coping techniques to reduce distress.

She holds LICSW and LCSW clinical social work credentials, which indicate licensure to practice clinical social work. Over the course of her career she has combined evidence-based methods to deliver efficient, long-lasting relief, drawing from cognitive-behavioral methods, client-centered principles, and solution-focused strategies. Her work emphasizes strengths and a holistic, eclectic frame that adapts to each person’s needs rather than relying on a single modality.

Committed to supporting people through specific life challenges, Dr. Mansfield focuses on collaboration and skill-building so clients can move past obstacles and restore balance. She aims to create a warm, welcoming space that encourages openness and makes it easier to share difficult thoughts and feelings, while offering supportive, goal-oriented guidance throughout the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Mansfield frequently draws on cognitive-behavioral therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. She also employs client-centered therapy, which focuses on empathic listening and building a collaborative relationship so the client feels understood and supported while exploring personal goals. In addition she uses solution-focused therapy to identify specific, achievable steps that move people toward immediate, practical improvements.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Mansfield works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy with Dr. Mansfield is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied access needs. These remote options allow clients to receive consistent, skills-based care from licensed professionals while fitting therapy into everyday life with greater convenience and choice.
