About Cheryl

Cheryl McNeil is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) practicing in Montana with 27 years of experience. She supports people managing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship concerns, addiction issues, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, and career or workplace strain.

She uses a flexible, responsive style that adjusts to what each person brings to sessions. Cheryl listens for what matters most and works alongside clients to identify practical steps. She emphasizes accepting one’s current situation while also recognizing where change is needed.

Her background includes work in community mental health settings, a Job Corps program, and private practice. That mix brought experience with young adults as well as people facing long-term mental health and addiction challenges. Those roles shaped a straightforward way of working that focuses on choices and actions.

In sessions she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These methods are used to help people manage strong emotions, navigate relationship strain, and make behavior changes that matter to them.

Cheryl aims to help people find the courage to change when change is needed. She supports practical problem solving, clearer communication, and steps to reduce recurring anger or resentment. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting locked into them, then choose actions that align with personal values. This can help with anger that comes from repeated patterns or avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on clear listening and building a collaborative relationship so clients can talk through what matters and decide next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to underlying emotions in relationships and works on expressing needs more clearly to reduce reactive responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl treats the choice of method as a collaborative decision. She will explore your goals, past efforts, and daily constraints to determine which approaches to use together.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, remove travel time, or allow shorter check-ins during a break at work. It can also let people choose a quieter setting or an option that uses less bandwidth if needed. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
