About Cheryl
Cheryl Ubelhor Kotyuk is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, career strain, and life changes. She offers a steady, respectful presence and aims to make therapy practical and approachable. Her work often focuses on self-esteem, coping after loss, and recurring patterns that get in the way of wellbeing.
Cheryl brings four decades of experience in social services to her sessions. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from Purdue University and a Master of Social Work from Indiana University. That background informs a calm, problem-solving style shaped by long practice in real-world settings.
Her approach is client-centered and interactive. Sessions typically focus on listening closely, identifying what matters most to the client, and trying new ways to handle stress, communication problems, or difficult feelings. She also addresses issues such as compassion fatigue, sleep difficulties, anger, and intimacy-related concerns.
Cheryl works with people dealing with family of origin issues, codependency, domestic violence history, divorce and separation, and choices about commitment. She also helps those feeling isolated, empty, or stuck during a midlife shift or career crossroads.
Her practice is located in Indiana and she communicates in English. She accepts international clients through the platform. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.
How client-centered care translates to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy places your experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens without judgment, follows your lead, and helps you clarify what matters most. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and feeling stuck in life changes.Cheryl will work with you to find what feels most helpful. Early sessions focus on understanding your goals and preferences so together you can choose ways of working that match your needs. She adapts her listening and suggestions based on your feedback as the work progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals can help you plan sessions that balance practical demands with attention to progress and wellbeing.
