About Cheri
She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, family concerns, and depression.

Her style is practical and person-focused.

In sessions she listens, helps people tell their story, and builds a plan that fits each person's goals.
Dr. Anderson aims to meet clients where they are and to offer supportive, empathetic care. She works with individuals, couples, and families and tailors treatment plans to specific concerns. People can expect a mix of talking, skills practice, and guidance toward clearer next steps.
Her background in supervision and long clinical practice shape a grounded approach to therapy. Many clients come for help sorting relationship problems, healing from past hurts, or changing patterns that cause distress. The focus is on practical progress and emotional healing.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can find their own solutions and clarify their goals. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk through relationship or family concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple exercises and practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, depression, and some addiction-related behaviors.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust plans as needed. Collaboration helps people test what works and shape treatment around real-life needs.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full visit is not practical. They also allow sessions without needing to be on camera if that helps someone focus. Ask about scheduling and format details when you start the matching process.
