Work with Cheryl Scott (M.S., LMHC) - BetterHelp Online Therapist

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.

Written on Feb 24, 2026 after therapy with Cheryl for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, anger management, and coping with life changes

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.

Excellent therapist and very responsive

Written on Feb 19, 2023 after therapy with Cheryl for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and coaching

When I joined BetterHelp, I was very skeptical about starting therapy based on the prior experience I had. My prior therapy experience was my own monologue with a therapist who occasionally nodded his head, asked me how something made me feel, and told me what a great job I did analyzing the situation. I got nothing out of it.
I'd watch movies where they'd portray therapists having a dialogue with their patient and sharing some mind-blowing deep ideas. "I wish I could experience something like that" I thought. "Meh, only in the movies."
My wish was granted with Cheryl. What I loved about her is that she is straightforward. And she is deep. And she is real.
I'm a deep individual, so I'm not looking for anything superficial to make sure that my feelings don't get hurt. We all have problems and I think its safe to say that we're looking for solutions to them, that's why we're in therapy.
Cheryl helped me reconnect with my feminine power and I was able to turn my life around. Keep in mind, you're responsible for turning your life around, not your therapist. They can put you on the right track and that, in itself, is tremendous.

Written on Dec 07, 2022 after therapy with Cheryl for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, career difficulties, and coping with life changes

Cheryl helped me through a difficult time, which I am very grateful for. She provided me with several tools to manage my anxiety and impulsive behavior. They are easy to use and if I practice them, they work!

However, I didn’t find our sessions to be conducive for my long term mental health. She became judgemental of my partner and didn’t seem neutral to the situation.

For me, Cheryl was able to help me through acute anxiety, but I didn’t find her techniques effective for relationship issues. To be fair, I had only sought her help for the anxiety, not relationship help.

Written on Dec 04, 2022 after therapy with Cheryl for 7 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, career difficulties, and coaching

Cheryl has been amazing and provides extremely helpful feedback. She is not at all judgemental or impatient with me and my explanations and questions. She is kind and reaches out often. She reached out to check on me for the anniversary of my dads passing, remembering when it was. It meant so much to me that she paid attention and cared enough to reach out first.
