Cheryl Loomis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of clinical experience. She is licensed to practice in Maine, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Washington and has spent nearly two decades supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, career uncertainty, and the transitions that life brings. Cheryl also works with issues related to focus and ADHD, offering practical strategies to improve attention and daily functioning.

She regularly collaborates with couples to rebuild trust, enhance communication, and deepen emotional connection. Her style is grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to match each person or couple's individual needs.

Taking the first step requires courage, and Cheryl provides steady support throughout that process.

Evidence-based approaches for online care

Cheryl uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional understanding. One common element of her approach is skills-based work to manage stress and anxiety - this involves learning concrete tools for coping, pacing, and problem solving that can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. She also emphasizes communication-focused interventions for couples, helping partners repair trust, express needs more clearly, and strengthen emotional intimacy. These methods support relationship repair and healthier interaction patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cheryl collaborates with each client to identify goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful, tailoring interventions to individual needs and preferences.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limits. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care and to access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward meaningful change.
