01About Cheryl
Dr. Cheryl Rushing is a licensed professional counselor with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with adults who are trying to cope with life changes and regain a sense of control.

Background and approach
Sessions focus on real-life problems and clear goals rather than abstract theory. Dr. Rushing adapts conversations and plans to fit what each person brings to the room.
That can mean learning new ways to respond to stress, practicing skills to manage anger, or building routines that support confidence and motivation. She aims for straightforward, useful strategies clients can try between sessions. People who come for help will find a collaborative style.
The therapist listens first, then works with the client to set priorities and track progress. The tone is compassionate but focused on practical next steps. Having worked across settings for two decades, Dr.
Rushing draws on that experience to guide therapy in a calm, steady way. She is licensed in Texas and Georgia and provides services in English.

04Online support
How online sessions use practical therapies
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that fit their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where change feels difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or persistent worry. It offers concrete tools to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and increase calm; it pairs well with CBT or ACT for stress and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to what matters most, discuss options, and adapt methods to match goals and preferences. Decisions are collaborative, and plans can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues, phone can fit a short check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat works for brief updates or ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
