Getting to know Cheryl Laner

Therapy can be a meaningful space for those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or ready for deeper self-understanding and change. Clients often seek support with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, and the impact of past difficult experiences. Working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, the therapeutic process is tailored to honor each person’s unique story, strengths, and goals. Together, we create a collaborative space grounded in compassion, curiosity, and practical tools to support clarity, resilience and healing.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is eclectic, integrative, holistic, empathic, and trauma-informed. Evidence-based therapies, including CBT, ACT, DBT and psychodynamic approaches, are blended with mindfulness, somatic awareness, and strengths-based practices. Therapy is individualized to support self-understanding, resilience, emotional balance, and meaningful, lasting change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Beginning therapy is a courageous step toward healing and self-understanding. A supportive, compassionate therapeutic relationship offers space to explore challenges, discover strengths, and create meaningful change. If you are feeling overwhelmed or stuck, therapy can support greater clarity, balance and well-being.
