Cheryl Marrow

Cheryl Marrow is a licensed therapist who helps people manage anger, stress, relationship strain, and addiction. She uses a direct, practical style to help clients sort out what’s most urgent and steady a path forward. Cheryl has 25 years of clinical experience and works from the District of Columbia area while seeing clients in English and accepting international clients.

Her work often begins with concrete goals - reducing outbursts, improving communication, or managing cravings - and then builds coping skills that fit daily life. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace, and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anger or anxiety. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when emotion regulation and relationship repair are needed.

Cheryl pays attention to family history and cultural background when helping someone tackle control issues, codependency, or blended family stress. She also supports people facing life transitions like divorce, midlife shifts, or changes after military service. Her goal is to help people feel more steady and in control of choices that matter to them.

Sessions focus on skills practice, clearer communication, and rebuilding trust with oneself and others. Cheryl uses straightforward language, short-term strategies, and longer-range planning as needed. People who want practical steps as well as deeper understanding often find this combination useful.

To begin, she asks clients to identify immediate concerns and workable next steps. From there Cheryl works with each person to set a pace and plan that match their daily responsibilities and longer goals.

How Cheryl’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following each person’s pace and needs, offering a space where the client’s goals set the agenda and progress moves at a comfortable rate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep anger or anxiety going, and then practices new ways of responding to real-life triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That choice can evolve as progress is made and new needs appear.
