About Cheryl Pacione
Cheryl Pacione is a solution-focused Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of experience helping people move toward greater well-being and purpose. Her practice emphasizes practical change and growth, guiding clients to uncover potential, shift limiting patterns, and build more fulfilling lives. While she acknowledges that the past cannot be rewritten, she works collaboratively with individuals to better understand current challenges and to identify actionable steps forward.
She integrates complementary therapeutic techniques to bring long-standing behavior patterns and negative beliefs into view so they can be addressed. Cheryl builds strong rapport with diverse populations, including LGBTQIA+ individuals and those in non-monogamous relationships, and she served for several years on a New York State committee focused on inclusion and diversity. Her clinical focus has included anger management, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and issues of sexual identity, and she also supports transition-age youth on the autism spectrum.
In addition to clinical counseling, Cheryl is a vocational counselor and draws on her familiarity with the Americans with Disabilities Act to assist clients navigating work and disability-related concerns. She is based in the Eastern Standard Time Zone in the United States and maintains a full-time schedule Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM EST and Saturdays from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM EST. Many clients combine message-based communication that is not in real time with regular weekly live sessions by video or phone, and Cheryl aims to respond to messages within 24 hours.
For individuals seeking support through a difficult period or looking to move in a new direction, Cheryl offers collaborative guidance focused on achievable goals and personal growth. She often shares the saying, "A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step."
