Dr. Cheryl Affrunti, LCP

Dr. Cheryl Affrunti is a clinical psychologist practicing in Florida who goes by Lee. She brings 14 years of experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, ADHD, and other life challenges. She aims to create a respectful space where people feel heard and can work toward clearer goals.

Lee leans on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, mindfulness, and solution-focused ideas. In sessions she listens first, then helps people notice what matters to them and take practical steps toward those values. She uses plain language and concrete strategies rather than clinical jargon.

Her background includes work with people facing trauma, including veterans and first responders, and with those navigating grief, addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and career transitions. She frames problems in everyday terms and helps clients develop coping skills to manage symptoms and day-to-day life.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that balances emotional support with actionable tools. Lee emphasizes strengths and personal values while teaching skills for mood management, focus, sleep, and interpersonal concerns. Progress is paced to match each person’s needs.

To begin, readers are invited to consider what matters most to them and to use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire. From there scheduling is arranged according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most and take small actions that align with those values while accepting difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying practical behavior changes to reduce distress. Client-centered work prioritizes listening, empathy, and supporting a person’s own choices while they figure out what helps them most.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring to sessions. That means trying techniques, checking in, and adjusting the focus over time so it feels useful.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy lives. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, avoid travel time, and let people use quieter surroundings or reduced video use if that helps them engage. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered practices to work well in remote sessions while keeping the focus on practical steps and personal values.
