About Cherish

Cherish Brooks is a licensed professional with ten years of experience who focuses on family and parenting concerns among other areas. She offers straightforward, forward-focused therapy that aims to help people make practical changes now and for the future. Sessions are built around each person's goals and needs, and plans are adjusted as those needs change.

Her work leans on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and actions.

Background and approach

She also uses creative methods when useful to help people try new ways of coping. Many sessions look at how past patterns formed so those habits can be reshaped into healthier routines. Cherish creates treatment plans that concentrate on growth and skill building.

She designs plans to target current struggles while also working toward a steadier future. When specific symptoms need different methods, additional approaches can be added by request. She has experience addressing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting, relationship and career concerns, and more.

Other focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and body image concerns. Cherish holds the LPA-IP credential, Texas LPA-IP 38184. She provides services from Texas and conducts sessions in English.

International clients may be accepted, and session formats include video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on building a meaningful life even when hard feelings remain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding emotions and how they affect relationships, helping people create safer emotional connections. Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. Plans can be adjusted as needs change and additional techniques can be added when specific issues arise. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people work face to face from home, while phone sessions offer a simpler option when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short-form support between sessions or for those who prefer writing. These formats aim to make therapy flexible and accessible for different schedules and comfort levels.

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.

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.
