About Cheri

Cheri aims to make beginning therapy feel clear and manageable for worried parents and individuals alike.
Cheri uses practical tools to find what helps most.
Background and approach

Cheri helps people identify unhelpful patterns, try different approaches, and track what changes. She also teaches mindfulness skills to reduce stress and improve sleep. Her practice includes work on addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship and communication problems, and the emotional impact of separation or blended family challenges.
Cheri pays attention to overlapping issues like co-morbidity, codependency, and control struggles so plans match each person’s situation. People who choose Cheri can expect a collaborative process. She uses clear language and practical exercises rather than jargon.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Cheri directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and action-focused work translates to online therapy
People can expect Narrative Therapy here, which looks at the stories people carry and how those stories shape daily choices. This approach helps identify problem-saturated narratives and create alternative, more helpful stories about identity and relationships.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is also used to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT supports clarity about values and small committed actions that move someone toward what matters most.
Cheri treats the choice of method as collaborative. She will help clients decide which approach, or blend of approaches, fits their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they set short-term targets and check progress to adjust the plan as needed.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comforts. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and direct interaction, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or tracking between meetings. These options make it easier to keep appointments, fit therapy into busy days, and practice skills where they matter most.
