Cheryl Pickering is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Arizona, a credential that reflects advanced training and clinical licensure. She brings 30 years of clinical experience and has practiced in a variety of settings, including cancer support and hospice care.
Her work includes helping people with depression, anxiety, stress, aging and other life transitions, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. She also counsels clients facing career difficulties, family conflict, relationship challenges both traditional and non-traditional, grief and loss, caregiving responsibilities, and end-of-life guidance.
Cheryl’s therapeutic approach is direct yet warm and collaborative. She draws on Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, and mindfulness-based approaches to support clients in developing practical tools and skills. She emphasizes a genuine therapeutic relationship that encourages growth and respects each person’s ability to regain a sense of control. Rather than “fixing” clients, she guides them toward improved emotional health through skill-building and self-directed progress.
Many people wonder whether remote counseling can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major advantage is flexibility - you can connect in the way that fits your life, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This makes it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other commitments.
Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and if a different match is needed, clients may switch therapists at any time. That adaptability often makes it simpler to find an approach and provider that work well for each person’s needs.
