Dr. Cheryl Affrunti, LCP

Dr. Cheryl Affrunti brings a person-centered approach to therapy. She is known as Lee and practices in Florida as an LCP. Her work focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, ADHD, addictions, grief, and other life challenges.

Lee builds sessions around what each person needs. She listens first and then helps people name values and take small, workable steps toward them. Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered techniques to shape practical strategies people can use between appointments.

Her background includes 14 years of clinical experience supporting people with depression, bipolar concerns, trauma and abuse, and complex attention or learning issues. She also has experience working with veterans and first responders affected by physical and emotional trauma.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals like improving sleep, managing anger, reducing anxiety, or changing patterns that get in the way of work and relationships. She helps parents handle parenting strain and assists people coping with career changes or compassion fatigue.

Therapy with Lee blends listening, skill teaching, and practical problem solving. She helps people notice what matters to them and then commits to steps that match those values. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How ACT, CBT, and Person-centered Work Help Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It often includes simple exercises for everyday life and helps with anxiety, depression, and motivation concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, mood problems, sleep issues, and coping skills for stress.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect so people can explore their own solutions. This approach helps people build confidence and clarify goals before choosing specific strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick or blend methods that match their goals, preferences, and situation. The process is gradual and involves trying techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting as needed.

For practical matters, confirm available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt ACT and CBT exercises to work well in remote sessions so progress can continue between visits.
