Dr. Cheri Anderson, LPC - Therapist in Michigan

About Cheri

Dr. Cheri Anderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with 28 years of clinical experience. She holds a PhD in Counseling and Clinical Supervision and has long worked with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, family issues, and depression.

She offers counseling to individuals, couples, and families and can include Christian perspectives when a client requests that approach. Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She listens first and then works with clients to set clear, manageable goals.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and focused on ways to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Cheri aims to make each plan fit the person sitting in the room. She uses a few well-known therapy methods to guide work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach she is trained to use. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding and respect for each client’s experience.

Cheri often addresses relationship topics such as communication problems, infidelity, commitment issues, and divorce or separation. She also works with family-focused concerns like family of origin issues, family problems, and forgiveness. Other areas she supports include body image, eating and food-related issues, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and control issues.

Her practice blends listening with concrete techniques. Clients work together with her to reduce symptoms and handle everyday challenges. The goal is clearer thinking, better relationships, and a steadier sense of emotional well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person without judgment and helping them find their own solutions; it suits people who need a supportive space to sort feelings and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then practices new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That may mean combining approaches, adjusting techniques over time, or focusing on skills that feel most useful in daily life.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy families and people managing complex schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions suit quick check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These formats increase flexibility and make it easier to keep continuity of care while balancing family, work, and other commitments.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
