About

Cheryl Youngblood is a California native and a licensed clinical social worker who brings 12 years of professional therapy experience to her work with children, adolescents, adults and families. Having spent many years as the director of a foster and adoptive agency, she chose to pursue social work licensure to expand her skills after repeatedly encountering trauma, domestic violence, self-injurious behaviors, post-traumatic stress, and other complex mental health needs across ages and backgrounds.

She is gerontology informed and maintains a special interest in supporting mature clients, respecting the wisdom and life experience that accompany aging while addressing concerns such as adjustment to retirement, existential anxiety, grief, transitions to assisted living, and cognitive challenges. Cheryl also partners with family members and caregivers, helping them balance caregiving responsibilities with their own lives through practical strategies aimed at reducing stress and conflict.

Cheryl applies a holistic, client-centered approach that considers physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of each person’s experience. Her therapeutic style is multicultural and eclectic - grounded in compassion and empathy - and she integrates present-focused interventions and mindfulness-based practices to help clients live more fully in the moment.

She offers a range of calming, evidence-informed techniques she has found useful over the years, including guided imagery, breathing exercises, sensory tools, tapping, and meditation. Providing an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where clients feel supported and empowered is central to her work and to helping clients take the first steps toward healing.

Cheryl is credentialed to provide professional mental health services in California as a licensed clinical social worker (CA LCSW 29263).

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether virtual therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adapting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that suits them best, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity of care.

All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they need a different fit. The convenience and accessibility of online therapy can make it a practical option for many people seeking support for everyday mental health concerns.
