About Cheryl Scott

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship struggles, or the effects of past hurts that keep showing up in your life, you’re not alone. Many people reach out because they’re tired of the same patterns and want real tools to move forward. I’m a Florida-licensed LMHC with more than 25 years of experience. I work in a direct but respectful way — I don’t sugarcoat things, but I don’t believe in tearing people down. My approach combines honest self-examination with practical strategies to help you change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns so you can function better in your daily life and relationships. As a practicing Christian, I’m comfortable incorporating biblical principles and scripture if that’s something you want. If faith isn’t part of what you’re looking for, we’ll focus on straightforward, evidence-based methods that fit your needs. If you’re looking for honest, practical support focused on real and lasting change, send me a message.

“Cheryl is the best therapist I could ever have. She is straight to the point and gives me all the tools I need to improve my mental health. She listens patiently and gives practical, effective advice on how to approach my problems. Her worksheets are helpful. I feel like I am making progress.”

“I cannot say enough good things about my therapist. She has been a source of wisdom, encouragement, and support during one of the most difficult seasons of my life. She doesn’t just listen—she helps me process my thoughts, challenge unhealthy beliefs, and see situations from a healthier perspective. Because of our sessions, I’ve noticed real growth in myself. I’m learning not to let my circumstances define me, to give myself grace, and to stand up for myself in ways I never did before. She has helped me realize that while I can’t control other people’s actions or feelings, I can control how I respond and how I care for myself. After one particularly painful situation, I expected to fall apart like I would have in the past. Instead, I was able to process what happened, get up the next morning, go to the gym, and continue moving forward. That may seem small to some people, but for me it was evidence of real healing. I’m especially grateful that she creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where I feel heard and understood while also gently challenging me to grow. I’m thankful for the role she’s played in helping me become stronger, healthier, and more confident. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who truly cares and helps you make lasting progress.”

“Cheryl is really great. She checks up on me when she can and gives me great advice and she helps me think a different way and helps me progress into a better me. Thank you Cheryl.”

“I love her”

“Cheryl has taken the time to listen and give feed back. She has sent very helpful worksheets to me, checked in on me after tough sessions where I opened some old wounds and genuinely seems to care about my mental health. I have had several therapists over the years, and it usually takes me a while to get comfortable with them. However, I felt comfortable with Cheryl almost immediately. In fact I have already recommended her to a family member who isn't happy with their current therapist.”

“Cheryl has a way of getting to the heart of the matter quickly and can find patterns in behavior quickly. She is direct but kind and professional. She is always quick to respond no matter what day of the week it is and usually within 8 hours or less. I definitely recommend her.”

“Cheryl has been my voice of reason for many challenges in my life. I really appreciate her time and help. ”

“Cheryl is fabulous ! She is knowledgeable, insightful, friendly and direct. She challenges you in a kind manner and makes you really think and dig deep down.. I would give her 10/10 without blinking ”

“I am very happy working with Cheryl so far !”

“I appreciate her attentiveness and ability to ask me the rigth questions to come up with the answers I need within myself.”

“Cheryl is very professional and helpful. ”

“Cheryl Scott changed my life. She has a gentle way of helping me to find the answers I seek through scripture, and asking thought provoking questions. She offers resources that are helpful, and responds to my emails in a timely manner. It is evident in her manner that she truly cares and wants to help. She does help.”

“Cheryl is a fantastic listener. She cares, she offers just the right amount of advice and helps you find the answer on your own. ”
