About Cherry
Cherry Weaver is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 22 years of experience. She practices from Utah and brings a steady, practical approach to sessions. Her work focuses on concerns such as anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, and relationship difficulties.
She has experience in inpatient substance abuse and psychiatric hospitalization, partial and intensive outpatient care, and independent practice work. Her background means she is familiar with crisis-focused settings and longer term therapy.
Background and approach
She draws on years of hands-on clinical work to guide each conversation. Cherry emphasizes meeting people where they are. She lets clients help set the goals and pace.
Sessions center on clear, manageable steps rather than overwhelming plans. Her methods include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. These approaches are used to reduce anxiety, manage mood challenges, and change unhelpful patterns in relationships and daily life.
In sessions she tends to be direct and supportive. She helps people build skills for stress, anger, and substance use, and to repair communication in close relationships. Practical tools and in-session practice are common parts of her work.
People typically find the first few meetings focus on immediate concerns and safety, then move into skill-building and coping strategies. Cherry helps people track small changes and adjust plans as needed.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping people name priorities and decide what to work on next. This approach helps when anxiety or life changes make it hard to know where to start.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety and shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for mood issues, anxiety, and many stress-related problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. It is often used when emotions feel intense or relationships are strained and can fit alongside CBT work.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match goals and preferences. Early sessions are used to try techniques and adjust the plan as needed so work feels useful.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different days and routines. Video is good for in-depth conversations and worksheets. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for short check-ins, quick coaching, or skill prompts between longer sessions.
