Background and approach
Mindfulness practices help slow racing thoughts and calm the body. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people in choosing actions that match their values even when feelings are hard. Sessions start with clear goals and a focus on what matters most to the person in front of her.
Cheri blends skill-building with chance to make sense of painful events or loss. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change when substance use or other habits get in the way. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative.
Cheri explains what she thinks is happening, invites questions, and adjusts plans based on progress. People often leave sessions with one or two simple steps to practice between meetings. Based in Colorado, Cheri works primarily in English and offers a mix of live and text-based session options.
She emphasizes steady progress over time and helps people build routines that reduce stress and improve daily functioning.
Approaches in online sessions and how they help
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a hands-on method that helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes to feel better. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday patterns that cause distress.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) blends noticing thoughts and feelings with choosing actions that match personal values. It supports people who feel stuck by helping them take meaningful steps even when emotions are difficult.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. This approach often helps with anxiety, stress, and staying present during hard moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheri will talk with each person about goals, test what helps, and adjust the plan together. Therapy is a collaborative process and she checks in regularly to make sure methods fit the client's needs and preferences.
Online therapy makes scheduling easier for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quick check-in, and text messaging supports brief updates or ongoing prompts between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into workdays, caregiving routines, or weeks with limited time while still working on anxiety, stress, and recovery goals.
