Cheryl Bauer , LCSW

Cheryl Bauer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of professional experience, licensed to practice in Indiana and Michigan. She has focused her work on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, process trauma and abuse, and navigate grief and loss. Cheryl emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work and adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person’s unique needs and circumstances.

Her approach centers on tailoring the therapeutic dialogue and interventions so they fit an individual’s goals, values, and pace. Cheryl aims to provide practical support for coping with life changes and difficult emotions while honoring the courage it takes to begin therapy. She affirms those who take that first step and works collaboratively to create a plan that addresses immediate concerns as well as longer-term growth.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life

Cheryl uses evidence-based cognitive and behavioral techniques that help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, and mood challenges. These strategies focus on concrete tools and exercises that can be practiced between sessions and adapted to each person’s daily routine.

She also employs trauma-informed approaches that prioritize safety, pacing, and emotional regulation when addressing trauma and abuse. This work supports gradual processing of difficult experiences while attending to a client’s comfort and readiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cheryl collaborates with clients to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She views therapy as a team effort and adjusts plans as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit care into a busy life. Clients can meet by video, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging, allowing for consistent contact and continued momentum even when schedules or circumstances change. Licensed professionals can deliver these approaches effectively through remote sessions, helping clients access support from where they are.
