Cheryl Meng, LICSW

Cheryl Meng is a licensed independent clinical social worker with 22 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, relationship concerns, and life changes. Her approach centers on listening and working with each person to set clear, realistic goals. Cheryl uses a client-centered style that prioritizes the person in front of her. She pays attention to life circumstances and what matters most to each individual. Sessions move at a pace set by the client and concentrate on practical next steps that fit daily life. Her background includes work in child welfare and medical social work, which shaped how she supports people through complex problems. That experience informs her attention to family of origin issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. She brings a steady, compassionate presence to difficult topics like trauma, loss, and addiction. Cheryl draws on several approaches to help people make small, useful changes. Cognitive behavioral tools help with unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques support coping with intense emotions and physical symptoms. Solution-focused and motivational strategies are used to identify strengths and practical steps forward.
