About Cheri
Cheri Donahue is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, grief, and concerns about self-esteem. Her work can suit someone who needs practical, steady support during a hard stretch.
She focuses on what is happening now and what can change next. Sessions tend to include clear conversations about coping skills, ways to manage strong emotions, and steps to improve daily routines. Cheri also addresses issues that often come with trauma, such as attachment and abandonment concerns.
Over her career she has worked with people affected by substance-related family problems and with those who have navigated child custody challenges. That work informs how she approaches crisis, grief, and rebuilding trust in relationships. She also supports those dealing with cancer, caregiving strain, and aging-related stress.
Cheri draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical steps forward. She aims to help people make concrete changes they can use outside of sessions. Her background offers long-term clinical perspective without relying on jargon.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to help people manage symptoms and build new habits. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills - teaching ways to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning through exercises and short behavioral changes. Another approach targets trauma-related symptoms by helping people understand patterns in relationships and safety, then practicing new responses to triggers and reminders.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing quicker check-ins during a work break or between appointments. It can also reduce the need to arrange childcare or travel, and it lets people continue care when relocating within the same region. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and rhythm of sessions to work well in remote settings.
