Cheryl Scott, LMHC
About me
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.

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.

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 is such a great therapist. She is so grounded and open to listen to any types of problems or issues you might be dealing with. She approaches every conversation with the attention needed and helps you pay attention to your thought patterns helping you break out of cycles you might be stuck in. She’s truly amazing!
