Cheryl Ubelhor Kotyuk, LCSW

Cheryl Ubelhor Kotyuk is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 40 years of experience in social services. She works with adults dealing with anxiety, stress, grief, relationship concerns, anger, depression, and life transitions. She also addresses issues such as codependency, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness.

Cheryl uses a client-centered way of working. Sessions focus on listening first and helping people name what they are feeling. She helps clients sort through practical problems and emotional reactions. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at clearer thinking and better choices.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts from Purdue University and a Master of Social Work from Indiana University. Decades in social services bring a familiarity with crises, grief, and workplace strain. That experience is used to help people with immediate needs and longer-term concerns.

In sessions she explores patterns that keep people stuck, such as control issues or avoidance. She talks with clients about communication, boundaries, and how past family dynamics affect present relationships. She also works on managing reactions that show up as anger or irritability.

Practical skills are part of the work. Cheryl helps people try new ways of responding, practice clearer communication, and set realistic goals for change. She supports people who want to regroup after a separation, reassess career direction, or reduce ongoing stress. To begin, she asks for some basic information and a first session to see what feels most helpful.
