How her approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match what matters to them; it’s useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and connections, and it can help with intimacy, relationship difficulties, and healing from past hurts. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cherie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then tailor techniques from these methods to fit the work they want to do together. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for a fuller conversation when time allows. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for brief updates, coping check-ins, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the work focused and goal-oriented.Questions people ask
