About Sheryl
Sheryl Mahon is a licensed professional counselor with 18 years of clinical experience. She practices from Arizona and focuses on helping people navigate grief, trauma, chronic illness, caregiver stress, depression, anxiety, and major life changes. She holds LPC and LPCC credentials and brings a steady, practical presence to sessions.
Sheryl takes an individualized approach and draws on several therapeutic styles to match each person’s needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centered methods to create a respectful, empathic space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Sessions often include skill-building from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking and from dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation and coping. Emotionally-focused ideas may be used when feelings and connection are central to the problem.
Sheryl works collaboratively to choose strategies that fit a person’s goals and life circumstances. Her work often helps people handle practical concerns like sleeping problems, anger, caregiver strain, and managing chronic pain alongside emotional issues such as guilt, shame, abandonment, and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing serious medical or end-of-life matters.
Sheryl frames therapy as a partnership. She expects honest communication, mutual respect, and steady effort. New clients begin by sharing their priorities, and then she helps shape a plan that focuses on realistic steps and measurable change.

Online support
How attachment and skills-based approaches work online
Sheryl uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current behavior and emotional responses. That approach is helpful when connection, trust, and repeated relationship patterns are central to the problem. She also uses client-centered therapy which focuses on listening, empathy, and helping a person name their priorities and strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) provides concrete tools to change thinking and behavior that keep problems going, and it often helps with anxiety, sleep, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so sessions remain practical and goal-focused.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps keep momentum between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around caregiving, medical appointments, work, or other commitments.
