About Cherie
Cherie Taylor is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical therapy parents often need. She combines clear skills with a calm presence to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood struggles, addictions, and relationship pain. Cherie offers straightforward ways to cope and to make daily life more manageable.
Her work is grounded in well-known approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance-based strategies. She also uses attachment-informed ideas and client-centered techniques to help clients notice patterns and try new, healthier ways of relating.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize small, usable changes rather than long lectures. Cherie has nine years of experience as an LPC in Virginia. That time has included supporting people through grief, trauma, career transitions, and the emotional fallout of major life changes.
She pays attention to how past relationships shape present reactions and helps people practice different choices. Many parents look for help with communication problems, co-dependency, caregiver stress, and family tensions. Cherie offers clear tools for those struggles, including emotion regulation skills and practical communication strategies.
She also works with concerns like bipolar symptoms, substance use, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and use an approachable, nonjudgmental tone. People can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is checked in small steps.
Cherie aims to make therapy useful day to day so clients can notice real change sooner.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where getting unstuck matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and practical problem solving. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. It supports people who want clearer boundaries and healthier ways to relate.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that fit a client's goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, manage caregiver duties, or continue care during transitions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, review homework, practice conversations, and support gradual change without requiring travel.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
