About Sherilyn

Sherilyn Cho is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Hawaii who draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods to help people navigate difficult moments.

Background and approach

With six years of clinical experience, she emphasizes collaboration and practical skill-building so clients can identify strengths and develop tools for everyday life. Sherilyn frames therapy as a partnership, offering encouragement while helping clients translate insight into concrete changes.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and addictions, along with issues such as parenting and family dynamics, self-esteem, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, communication problems, OCD-related symptoms, self-harm, sexuality, and multicultural matters.

Sherilyn’s approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness, existential reflection, motivational interviewing, and a client-centered stance to tailor care to each person’s needs. Sessions aim to strengthen coping strategies, reduce unhelpful patterns, and support meaningful change in daily functioning.

Sherilyn works with a variety of presenting concerns and encourages prospective clients to consider their goals and preferences when beginning therapy.

Approach-Based Online Therapy and Practical Skills

Client-centered work emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance that helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them; it supports goals like improving relationships, parenting, and self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches concrete strategies to change behaviors and cope with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness techniques add short practices and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and enhance emotional regulation for everyday challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore needs, preferences, and goals and then adapt methods from these approaches to find the best fit. This cooperative planning helps set clear, achievable steps and refines the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to receive care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule regular appointments, check in between sessions, and access support from home or other convenient locations, while preserving continuity of care across life changes.
