Cheryl Miller Tivitt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky with 28 years of professional experience. She has worked in outpatient offices, community settings, and through online platforms, offering a wide range of clinical support to people across the lifespan. Her practice focuses on anxiety and depression related to everyday stressors and trauma, while also addressing motivation, self-esteem, confidence, caregiver stress, veteran and armed forces issues, mood disorders including bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, parenting concerns, sleep difficulties, anger, career challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Cheryl approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversation and treatment to the individual goals and needs presented. She values the convenience and comfort of receiving care from home and emphasizes accessible options that fit a client’s life circumstances. Beginning or returning to therapy can take courage, and Cheryl aims to support that first step by providing clear, supportive guidance. Her practice emphasizes practical coping strategies and collaborative planning to help clients navigate life changes and build resilience in ways that feel meaningful to them.

CBT and Collaborative Care for Online Sessions

Cheryl Miller Tivitt uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is a practical, skills-oriented approach that supports work on anxiety, depression, stress management, sleep issues, and mood symptoms by teaching tools for coping and gradual change.

In addition to CBT, Cheryl emphasizes a tailored, collaborative approach that adjusts to each person’s situation and goals. That means she works with clients to identify priorities, try strategies together, and refine the plan based on what fits the client’s needs and preferences, creating a partnership in finding effective ways to manage challenges.

Online therapy with Cheryl is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit care into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow continuity of support when in-person visits are difficult, while enabling regular contact with licensed professionals and therapists who can help guide progress.
