About Cherice
Cherice Peagler is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and those struggling with self-esteem or anger. Her work also supports those facing relationship strains and big life changes.
Cherice listens first and then helps people find steady, usable steps forward. She focuses on clear communication skills and building self-love so daily life feels more manageable.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and collaborative, aimed at practical changes rather than jargon. She often helps people who feel stuck figuring out their life purpose. That can mean sorting values, testing small goals, and learning ways to handle setbacks.
For social anxiety and specific fears, she uses paced exposure and gradual practice so confidence grows over time. Cherice emphasizes tools people can use between sessions. These include strategies for calming strong emotions, communicating needs, and breaking large problems into doable tasks.
Over time the goal is greater resilience and clearer decision-making. Her style is respectful and warm, focused on understanding each person’s background and goals. People work with her to build new habits, repair communication, and move toward a clearer sense of direction.
Online approaches and how they fit into care
Cherice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use right away. One approach emphasizes learning coping skills for anxiety and stress through rehearsal and step-by-step practice; it helps with panic, social anxiety, and everyday worry. Another approach focuses on improving communication and managing anger by teaching clear expression, listening skills, and behavioral steps for changing reactions to conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust over time so therapy fits the person’s needs and preferences. This collaborative process helps clarify which techniques are most useful for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter updates or quick skill practice between meetings. These options make it easier to fit consistent sessions into a busy life and to keep practicing skills when they matter most.
