Cheryl is an excellent person who will help you get through your hard moments. She truly came into my life at the perfect time and helped me process painful situations that would have left me a bit traumatized if I didn’t have her to rationalize what was going on. Thank you Cheryl from the bottom of my heart.

Hello! My name is Cheryl Maddox and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's degree in Social Work. I have experience working with children, families, and adults in a therapeutic setting. My main focus is you and what your personal goals are for yourself. I will walk alongside you to help you make a plan to reach those goals that seem impossible. My faith in Christ is what has called me to help others. I am a pastor at my church as well as a therapist in my community. My passion is working with individuals, couples, and families to help them work through anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem, career/lifestyle coaching, relationship issues, financial problems, and adjustments to major life events. I will be here to coach you through these problems, no matter how big or small.
I will approach our time together by determining first where you want to go so we can look at your current situation with the end in mind. You’re the driver, I’m the navigator. It takes a lot of courage to reach out and ask for help when times are tough. I am committed to being your biggest cheerleader!
The techniques I use include solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Therapy with me is a judgment-free zone. I promise to be real with you but also keep the mood light. This is a journey, so buckle up, turn on your favorite jams, and prepare to transform your situation.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She is very knowledgeable and is a woman of God I believe in her ideals and her ability to understand a person's current situation.
Cheryl was very attentive to my concerns and helped me to compartmentalize my problems and see a clear path for growth in my marriage. She was a great help and shoulder to lean on when I felt hopeless in my marriage. Now my husband I are talking and praying regularly, thanks to Cheryl's advice granting me the confidence I needed to be strong.
Cheryl is a great counselor! She knows how to pinpoint the heart of the issue, and ask questions that make you think and dig. She's also smart about sharing helpful, supplemental resources on different topics, from relationships to finances to spirituality. I'm lucky to have her support!
Cheryl's really great. I felt comfortable from the first message. She doesn't make me feel uncomfortable or weird
Cheryl has been wonderful. She has been very supportive, honest, and definitely helped me tremendously on this journey. Thank you
Cheryl is a supportive, understanding, and positive counsellor whose help came at a critical point for me. She is articulate, sympathetic and easy to talk to, but also gently nudges one in the right direction(s) to take a deep breath and think things through. She helped me to look forward and be positive during what felt like a very hopeless time, and continues to be very encouraging.
My counselor gave me some really genuine and helpful insights, many of which I hadn't heard before and it made a positive difference in my social anxiety. A very special thank you to Cheryl for showing me a negative habit of mine that I would have been blind to otherwise!
