Cheryl Watson

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am licensed in South Carolina with 28 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy related issues, end of life issues, life transitional periods, self esteem and depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I typically respond to your messages approximately 24 hours after receiving them.
My availability is, with rare exceptions, limited to weekends – Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons. It is important that your therapists’ scheduling is able to accommodate your needs. If my availability will serve as a barrier to you receiving the very best treatment – please reach out to BetterHelp support. They will quickly match you with a therapist who will be available to support you when you are available.
With Gratitude,
Cheryl

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online will actually help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. One major benefit is flexibility – people can connect in the format that works best for them, whether by video call, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. All therapists involved are licensed professionals, and if someone feels a different match would be better, they can switch therapists at any time. For many, online therapy provides a practical, effective way to pursue mental health support while accommodating everyday life.
