About Cherie
Cherie has nine years of experience as a licensed professional counselor in Virginia. She often supports people coping with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar mood concerns, and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. She pays attention to the experiences of LGBT people and those facing caregiver strain or career pressures.
Her work mixes several therapy approaches to match the situation. That can include techniques that help change unhelpful thoughts and patterns, skills for managing strong emotions, and attention to how early attachment shapes current relationships. Sessions focus on practical tools and short-term goals alongside deeper exploration when it helps.
Cherie also helps people dealing with codependency, communication problems, control issues, and adjustment after divorce or separation. She supports those facing first responder stress, co-morbidity, and aging or caregiver concerns. The aim is steady progress, even when change feels slow.
People who choose her are offered a collaborative process. She works with each person to set goals, try manageable strategies, and track what’s working. To get started, clients use the site’s Start Therapy flow and schedule according to therapist availability.
How Cherie’s approaches translate to online work
Cherie practices Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when emotions are difficult, which can help with anxiety, depression, and persistent worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and teach practical coping skills for stress, mood, and relationship concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cherie will talk with each person about their goals, current challenges, and preferences, then try methods that make sense together. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps and what doesn’t, so clients stay involved in decisions about their care.
If you are thinking about online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills and review worksheets between meetings. Ask about the specific formats offered when you start the matching process so you know what to expect.
