Background and approach
Cherri uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies help people tolerate strong emotions and stay present.
She also uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on the person's priorities. When emotion regulation is necessary, elements of dialectical behavior therapy are added to teach concrete skills like distress tolerance and emotional balance. Cherri has worked with people facing parenting stress, grief, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver burden, and identity concerns including LGBT issues.
She also supports those coping with chronic health problems, codependency, and life transitions like divorce. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. Cherri helps people figure out what will work in their life and tailors each plan to match their goals and pace.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Cherri commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which works well in short practical exercises and homework between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve attention, useful for managing anxiety and stress.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when clients need help tolerating difficult emotions without getting stuck. ACT pairs values-focused goals with small behavioral steps, helping people move toward what matters despite fear or pain. Cherri treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process and will help decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences over time.
Online formats make it easier to match therapy to daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates between sessions, share progress, or get brief support without scheduling a full call. These options aim to offer flexibility and accessibility while keeping the focus on practical change and skill building.
