Cheryl Nelson, LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), in the state of PA. My clinical background is in Community Behavioral Health. I have worked with adults, adolescents, and children for 10 years in school, home, and outpatient settings; both virtually and in person. I have experience working with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, loss, trauma, and relationship issues.

My therapeutic approaches are Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Positive Psychology. As a Client-Centered therapist, I meet my clients where they are and help them achieve their goals. As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I teach my clients to recognize the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and actions. As a compassion-focused therapist, I help promote mental and emotional healing by encouraging clients to be compassionate toward themselves and others. As a practitioner of Narrative Therapy, I seek to help clients identify their skills and values with the goal of writing a new narrative about themselves. As a practitioner of Positive Psychology, I focus on the character and strengths of my clients to allow them to build a life of meaning and purpose. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to provide therapeutic services to individuals who are experiencing mental or emotional challenges. I also explore other aspects of my client’s lives such as their physical, social, and spiritual health.
By demonstrating empathy, compassion, non-judgment, and genuine care and concern, I am able to make my clients comfortable enough to let their guard down so they can begin to heal. My ultimate goal is for my clients to become Healthy and Whole.
