Background and approach
Conversations are direct and nonjudgmental so people can speak honestly about their needs. Cherri integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also uses dialectical behavior ideas to teach skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools are used when helpful to build awareness and momentum for change. Typical areas she addresses include parenting stress, career challenges, self-esteem, anger, and spikes of anxiety or depression. She also supports people dealing with adoption or foster care issues, caregiver burdens, fertility and relationship strain, and addiction recovery.
Cherri helps clients break problems into manageable steps and set realistic goals. Her practice is based in Tennessee, and sessions are offered in English. She encourages anyone feeling stuck to take the next step and explore whether counseling could help them meet their goals.

04Online support
Using practical therapy approaches online
Cherri often combines cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients change patterns that cause distress. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors so people can test new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety or depression. Dialectical behavior therapy focuses on skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and reducing crises.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cherri works collaboratively to match techniques to a client's goals, needs, and preferences. She will check in about what helps and adjust strategies over time so sessions stay useful and focused on real-life changes.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and teaching skills, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or have briefer, more frequent contacts. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
