About Cheryl

Cheryl Tredway is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Kansas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, anger, addictions, grief, and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with parenting strain, career transitions, ADHD, and intimacy concerns.

Background and approach

Cheryl has a direct, down-to-earth style and often uses a touch of humor when it fits the moment. Cheryl trained at Emporia State University, earning both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Counseling.

She has practiced since 2012 and brings ten years of clinical experience to her sessions. Her work has involved university students, people who have experienced trauma, active duty military and veterans, and clients managing anger issues.

In session, Cheryl meets people where they are and focuses on practical goals. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

She also uses EMDR for trauma-focused work when appropriate and incorporates techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation skills. Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented.

Cheryl helps people identify roadblocks, practice new skills, and track small changes over time. She encourages clients to bring their own voice and sense of humor into the process when it feels right.

For people juggling busy lives, Cheryl offers multiple online formats so therapy can fit a schedule. She guides clients through steps to set goals, try techniques between sessions, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Cheryl often uses the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns in a practical way, helping partners identify interaction cycles and practice clearer communication and repair steps in session. Client-Centered Therapy is another part of her work, where the client’s priorities guide each conversation and the therapist follows the client’s pace and perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to name and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms when practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl will talk through options with each person or couple, weigh goals and preferences, and adjust methods as progress is tracked. The plan is shaped by what the client wants to change and what fits their life, not by a fixed formula.

Online care offers practical flexibility. Video calls let Cheryl observe interactions and nonverbal cues for deeper relational work. Phone sessions can fit a tight schedule or lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework exchanges, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other demands.
