About Sherilyn

Sherilyn Cho is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Hawaii. She uses a collaborative, client-centered style that focuses on each person’s strengths. Sherilyn aims to help people build practical skills to face stress, anxiety, changes, and self-esteem struggles.

She has six years of clinical experience working in home-based and school settings. That background informs a hands-on approach to coping skills and everyday routines. Sherilyn draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding.

Sessions emphasize clear, doable steps rather than abstract theory. Sherilyn helps clients set small goals, practice new skills, and track progress between meetings. She also uses motivational interviewing to explore ambivalence and support readiness for change.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including family and parenting stress, addictions, trauma and grief, ADHD, and issues around sexuality and LGBT identity. She also works with people facing career pressure, compassion fatigue, guilt, and struggles with self-love.

Sherilyn aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk through hard moments and plan for manageable change. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Sherilyn often uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to shape sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person’s perspective, and building on their strengths to decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and then practice new, more helpful responses to stress and anxiety.

She also brings mindfulness and motivational interviewing into the conversation. Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify goals and find personal reasons to try new behaviors. Together these approaches make sessions practical and goal oriented while still honoring the client’s values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting over time so the plan fits day-to-day life.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking. The main practical benefit of meeting online is fitting therapy into a busy schedule - sessions can be arranged around work, school, or family routines. Online meetings can also make check-ins easier when a shorter session is helpful or when avoiding travel is a priority.
