About Cherri

Cherri Castellon is a licensed social worker with two decades of clinical experience. She holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and also the Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice credential.

Background and approach

Parenting and family topics are included among the areas she addresses. Cherri aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She adapts conversations and plans to match each person’s situation.

Sessions are shaped around practical next steps rather than vague promises. In therapy she listens, asks clear questions, and helps clients find small, realistic changes they can try. She emphasizes empowerment and support as people take steps toward what matters to them.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Finding the right path can feel hard at first. Cherri offers steady guidance and helps clients build tools to manage emotions, improve communication, and increase daily well-being.

Her style suits people who want compassion combined with concrete strategies.

Therapeutic techniques and online options that fit your life

Cherri uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in straightforward, easy-to-understand ways. One approach focuses on learning practical coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress; sessions teach simple tools to use when emotions rise and sleep is affected. Another approach centers on improving communication and handling strong emotions like anger so relationships and daily life feel more manageable; this looks like role-play, checking patterns, and planning small changes.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, listen to your concerns, and suggest methods that match your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust the plan over time if something isn’t working.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier scheduling. Cherri meets by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, family, and other commitments.
