Sherilyn Cho, LMHC

Sherilyn Cho is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Hawaii who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She uses a collaborative style that looks for strengths and practical ways to make day-to-day life easier. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at people who want clear, usable skills rather than abstract talk.

With six years of clinical experience, Sherilyn draws on a mix of talking and skill-building. She has worked in intensive in-home settings and in schools, which shaped how she helps people manage real-world challenges. Her work includes supporting people facing addiction, trauma, grief, and relationship or family strain.

Sherilyn uses client-centered methods to create a respectful space where clients set the pace and goals. She also incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are tools she brings in to build awareness and motivation for change.

She supports a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues related to sexuality and LGBT identity. Additional focuses include autism and Asperger syndrome, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and self-harm thoughts, always approached with attention to each person’s context.

Sessions are conducted in English and reflect Sherilyn’s preference for practical steps and gradual progress. To begin a match, readers are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy process and schedule a time based on availability.
