Cheryl Scopinich , LCSW

Cheryl Scopinich is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and blended family issues, eating and body image struggles, intimacy-related concerns, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also includes support for issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, attachment difficulties, and other life transitions.

Cheryl emphasizes a flexible, person-centered approach rather than a single method for everyone. She prioritizes building a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, comfortable, and connected, and focuses sessions on practical growth and developing tools to restore balance and well-being. Cheryl holds the LCSW credential, which denotes a licensed clinical social worker qualified to provide psychotherapy in Pennsylvania. She is also a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider, experienced in delivering therapy remotely, and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, with focused training in anxiety care.

Prospective clients can expect an empathetic, steady clinician who aims to make difficult conversations more manageable while collaborating on realistic strategies for change and ongoing coping.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Cheryl integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and supports values-based action to move toward a more meaningful life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, acceptance, and a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, creating space for clients to explore concerns and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other common difficulties.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cheryl collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to support progress and comfort in the work.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging can make regular care more accessible for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These options allow consistent contact with a licensed professional while supporting continuity of care and the opportunity to practice new skills between sessions.
