About Cherie
Cherie Bailey is a Delaware licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and struggles with self-esteem and life changes. She frames the work as a partnership and meets people where they are.
Her approach starts with listening to each person's story and strengths. She uses practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits.
How Cherie works
She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice what matters and take small steps toward it. Emotion-focused work is part of her toolkit when relationships and attachment are central concerns. That helps when emotions feel overwhelming or when communication has broken down.
Motivational interviewing is used to support people who want to find their own reasons to change. Clients can expect clear, straightforward conversations and tools they can use between sessions. Sessions often focus on real-life problems like blended family issues, fertility and postpartum challenges, or coping with past trauma.
She also helps with adoption and foster care questions, codependency, control issues, and family of origin patterns. The goal is to help people build confidence, improve communication, and manage stressful life transitions.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small actions that matter to them. It is useful for life changes, anxiety about parenting roles, and managing painful memories. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It often helps with low self-esteem, trauma symptoms, and rebuilding routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the plan as you learn what helps most in your daily life.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let you use visual cues for relationship and attachment work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you need a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging offer brief support and flexibility between scheduled sessions.
