How Cheri works
In session she aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most. She treats therapy as a partnership and respects each person's experience and goals. Sessions tend to focus on coping skills, emotional processing, and realistic plans for day-to-day life.
Cheri also helps with issues such as addictions, intimacy-related concerns, anger, self-esteem, and relationship stress. She brings experience working with aging and geriatric matters, caregiving strain, cancer and hospice related concerns, and other complex health-related stressors. People who choose her often want clear, compassionate guidance and practical steps they can use between sessions.
Cheri uses plain language and creates space for honest conversations. She invites people to start where they are and work at a pace that feels right.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that focus on managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. One common approach emphasizes practical coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and improve mood; this helps people who need tools to manage stress, panic, or low mood in everyday life. Another approach centers on grief and loss processing, helping people make sense of complicated feelings and find routines and supports that aid adjustment after a loss.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. This means the plan can change as needs evolve and progress is reviewed regularly.
Online sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video allows face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or hands-free is needed, chat can be a focused way to check in, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflections between meetings. These options offer flexibility so therapy can match a person's schedule and comfort with different formats.
