About Cherri

Cherri Crisp is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She brings 20 years of experience to conversations about relationship strain, parenting stress, and life changes. Her work also includes support around ADHD, grief, compassion fatigue, and issues related to identity and self-esteem.

She aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, and on building routines that reduce day-to-day stress. Cherri emphasizes listening first, then tailoring strategies to each person's needs.

Her approach draws from several evidence-based methods. That may include noticing and changing unhelpful thinking patterns, learning new emotional skills, and practicing mindfulness to lower reactivity. She mixes structured tools with empathetic, client-directed conversation.

Cherri has worked with adults facing a wide range of concerns, including relationship problems, parenting challenges, mood disorders, and the aftermath of trauma. She also addresses specific themes such as abandonment, codependency, and body image when these come up in therapy.

Clients can expect straightforward goal-setting and skill practice. Cherri supports people who want to improve communication, set healthier boundaries, or regain motivation after a major life shift. Her aim is to help clients find sustainable changes that fit their everyday life.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people act in line with their values even when worries or low mood are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches specific steps to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to support growth and self-understanding.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice can shift as progress is made or new issues arise.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during workday breaks or between appointments. It can also let people use video or phone in the ways that suit them best, depending on what the therapist offers.
