01About Sheryl
Sheryl Mahon is a licensed professional counselor with 18 years of experience. She works from Arizona and focuses on grief, trauma, chronic illness, depression, stress, and major life changes. She frames therapy as a partnership and aims to help people identify changes they want and practical steps to get there.
Sheryl uses a flexible, person-focused approach rather than one fixed method. She listens to each person's story and then suggests strategies that fit that person’s situation and goals.
Background and approach
Sessions include emotional support and skill-building so people can manage difficult feelings and daily challenges. Many people seek her help for grief and anticipatory loss, caregiver strain, and end-of-life concerns. She also helps with anxiety, anger, sleep problems, self-esteem, and coping after trauma or abuse.
Sheryl pays attention to how health issues and chronic pain affect mood and daily life. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She encourages honest conversation, clear goals, and regular check-ins about progress.
The aim is to leave each session with a small, doable step that moves a person forward. Sheryl blends talk therapy with tools from several approaches to match each person's needs. She is a licensed professional counselor, LPC, who practices as an LPCC in California and holds licensure in Texas as an LPC.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online in several formats.

04Online support
How online sessions use different therapy approaches
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and emotional bonds. It looks at how early patterns affect current reactions and helps people build more supported ways of relating and coping with loss or abandonment.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience. The therapist follows the person's lead, offers empathy, and helps people name their feelings and decide what changes they want to make.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking, manage anxiety, improve sleep, and handle depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sheryl will discuss these options and help decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter connection is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or working through small tasks between sessions.
