About Cheri
Cheri Doval is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience. She focuses on building a strong rapport first so people feel heard. Cheri combines practical methods with a warm, attentive style to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes.

How Cheri works
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be used for trauma-related concerns when appropriate. Cheri also brings client-centered and acceptance-based methods to sessions. That means conversations focus on what matters most to the person sitting across from her.
Sessions often include practical tools, short exercises, and direct coaching for everyday problems like relationship strain, parenting stress, or workplace burnout. She works with issues including addiction, anger, intimacy-related concerns, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and veteran and armed forces issues.
Cheri addresses sexual assault, post-traumatic stress, and women's issues with sensitivity and patience. People who prefer a collaborative, empathetic therapist tend to fit well with her style. Cheri emphasizes steady progress over time and adjusts techniques as needs change.
She offers sessions from Florida and accepts international clients who prefer remote work.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed action toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can help when life changes, grief, or chronic worry get in the way of living the life a person wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to notice and change thinking and behavior patterns that worsen anxiety or depression, often using short exercises and homework to practice between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories; it is used when trauma symptoms are a central issue and may be adapted for remote delivery.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheri will talk through goals, preferences, and responses to different methods and then tailor a plan. She adjusts techniques over time so the work stays relevant and practical for each person.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into short breaks, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into busy schedules or different time zones.
