About Cheri
Cheri Goodwin is a licensed professional counselor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, intimacy concerns, and sleep or eating difficulties. She speaks directly and clearly so parents and individuals can understand next steps without extra jargon. Sessions are offered in English and through several online formats to fit different needs.
With 20 years of experience, Cheri uses practical tools to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Motivational interviewing is used to unpack ambivalence and find the next doable step toward change. Narrative work and acceptance-based methods help people make sense of painful events and reconnect with values that matter.
Cheri aims to identify the patterns that keep problems looping and then replace them with clearer choices. This hands-on approach focuses on what someone can try between sessions. Sessions move at a steady, respectful pace.
Cheri aims to create a straightforward plan each week so progress is visible. The work often involves short exercises, tracking thoughts or behaviors, and gentle experiments to test new ways of coping. Cheri practices from Colorado as an LPC - licensed professional counselor - and brings two decades of clinical experience to each session.
She helps people who are worn down by life rebuild routine, regain perspective, and make small changes that add up.
Approach-based online care you can use
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on choosing values and taking small steps that add meaning even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and provides concrete exercises to change patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep or anxiety symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheri will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That means starting small, trying a technique, and adjusting based on what helps most. The therapist-client relationship guides which tools get prioritized in sessions.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for usual sessions and when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people fit a brief check-in into a busy day or keep a written record of thoughts and homework. These options help people access consistent care around work, school, and family demands.
