About Cherish

Cherish Krisciunas is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and major life changes. She brings a warm, respectful style to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Cherish emphasizes honest conversation and a steady, nonjudgmental presence so clients can move at their own pace.

Her work is client-centered and collaborative. She mixes approaches to match each person's needs, drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, and acceptance-oriented practices. Sessions often balance understanding past patterns with concrete tools for coping and change.

Cherish has guided people through complicated emotional experiences like trauma, caregiver stress, and divorce. She also helps address concerns around intimacy, self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Her focus includes both immediate coping strategies and longer-term shifts in relationships and behavior.

In therapy she prioritizes listening, goal-setting, and skill-building. Clients can expect clear, practical suggestions alongside space to process feelings. The aim is to leave sessions with something useful to try between meetings.

Her practice is informed by attachment-based perspectives and by evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Cherish works with each person to tailor an approach that fits their values, strengths, and real-life constraints.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action. It helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cherish will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals, preferences, and current struggles. Together they set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy supports real-life change.
