About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Missouri with over 20 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients for a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. I have also helped many clients with chronic illnesses including HIV/AIDS.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines client centered, solution focused and strengths based counseling to meet your needs.

It takes courage to seek professional help and even more courage to implement change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Cheryl Nelson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Such a sweet and knowledgeable person, she really feels like a companion and guidance through the ups and the downs! Would 110% recommend to anyone.

I cannot say enough good and positive things about my therapist, Cheryl Nelson. God knows who we need, what we need and when we need it. I thank God for bringing her in my path. She has incredible wisdom. That’s because she has a relationship with God. If you want the truth then Cheryl is your person but if you’re not quite ready for the truth Cheryl is still your person. Nothing happens by coincidence. Even you reading this review.

A therapist who has stuck with me through thick and thin. She always actively listens to me and offers helpful solutions with a different perspective.

She is the best therapist I’ve matched with so far. She is a great listener and gives me many options and exercises to help me.
I also appreciate how she sends me affirmations when I need them, but also understands when I am in need for some space. Cannot recommend her enough.

Cheryl is very easy to talk to , she gives a clear perspective for each problem . I was not sure able what help looked like until I spoke with Cheryl. I feel like I'm in a safe space to share my grief and my varied emotions. I would highly recommend Cheryl to anyone needing a kind ear.
