About Cherish
Cherish Krisciunas is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida with 12 years of experience. She brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her manner is warm and nonjudgmental, and she aims to help clients feel heard and understood.
She uses a blend of approaches that are chosen to fit each person's situation. That can mean learning skills for anxiety and depression, practicing new ways to talk in relationships, or finding ways to cope after a loss.
How Cherish works
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit individual needs. Cherish often helps with stress, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and major life changes. Career concerns, compassion fatigue, and trauma or abuse are also areas she addresses.
She works with people facing relationship and family problems, anger, isolation, and challenges around caregiving and aging. Her practice includes attention to attachment patterns and communication problems, and she supports people dealing with issues like infidelity, control struggles, and separation. She also has experience with BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture topics when they are part of a person's concerns.
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical tools. Clients can expect to build insight into emotions and behaviors, practice skills between sessions, and make steady, manageable changes. Care is tailored to each person's values and life circumstances.

Online support options
Approach-focused care through online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, so they can choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and communication, and it can help with intimacy issues and family conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest methods that match your needs. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses to make sure the approach feels useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video allows for face-to-face conversation and deeper relational work. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging and live chat offer options for ongoing support, skill practice, and brief check-ins between sessions.
