About Cheri
Dr. Cheri Anderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with 28 years of clinical experience. She holds a PhD in Counseling and Clinical Supervision and offers direct, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, or depression.
She focuses on real concerns parents and adults bring into sessions. She listens first, then helps set clear, achievable steps. Sessions aim to reduce daily stress, improve communication, and address patterns that keep problems repeating.
Background and approach
Her approach blends client-centered care with methods that target thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different actions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is offered for people processing traumatic memories.
Cheri builds a plan with each person based on what matters to them. She can include motivational interviewing to explore mixed feelings about change. When requested, she can incorporate faith-based perspectives into counseling.
She is experienced with a wide range of issues, including addiction concerns such as gambling and technology use, body image and eating-related issues, divorce and separation, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or guilt. Her style is direct, respectful, and focused on practical steps that fit everyday life.
How chosen methods work in online counseling
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s priorities at the center. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to build trust and understanding. This approach helps when people need a supportive space to sort feelings and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or addictive urges. This approach is practical and goal oriented, so progress can be reviewed each week.
Finding the right approach is a joint effort. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and suggest a mix of methods that fit. Together they adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video gives face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text are helpful for brief updates, tracking progress, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep momentum between appointments.
