About Cheri
Cheri Williams is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. She brings 13 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. Her approach is down-to-earth and practical.

Background and approach
Cheri draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address relationship strain, communication breakdowns, and trust problems. She supports people working through attachment concerns, abandonment, jealousy, infidelity, and divorce or separation. Caregiver stress, first responder issues, and body image worries are also within her focus.
Sessions include attention to faith when clients want that included, with respect for each person's values and beliefs. Cheri aims to help people connect practical skills to everyday life, so changes feel manageable and sustainable. Her style is collaborative; she listens first and offers steps that fit each person’s situation.
Clients can expect straightforward feedback, tools for coping, and help setting achievable goals. Cheri encourages gentle progress over time and helps people notice small wins as they work toward greater calm and confidence.
How therapeutic approaches and online sessions fit together
Evidence-based techniques focus on clear skills and coping strategies. One common approach emphasizes cognitive and behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new actions, which is useful for anxiety and low mood. Another approach concentrates on attachment and relationship patterns to improve communication and rebuild trust after betrayal or separation; this helps people understand repeated interaction patterns and try different ways of connecting.Cheri works collaboratively to find the right combination of approaches. She listens to goals and preferences, then suggests steps and skills to try. If a method isn’t working, she and the client adjust the plan together so progress feels steady and purposeful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction, while phone sessions can fit a shorter break or lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing helps to clarify thoughts. These formats give flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to keep regular contact while working toward practical change.
