About Cherri
Cherri Crisp is a licensed therapist based in South Carolina who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting challenges. She brings 20 years of hands-on experience and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on real problems and real steps clients can try between meetings.
She keeps sessions calm and direct. Cherri listens closely and helps clients notice patterns that get in the way. Then she works with them to try small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
The tone is respectful and solutions-focused rather than rushed or overly clinical. Cherri uses a mix of therapy tools that fit each person. She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness techniques as needed.
These methods help with emotional regulation, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and building flexible coping skills. Her background includes long-term work with people facing relationship strain, grief, identity questions, and caregiver stress. Cherri also supports those managing mood disorders, ADHD, and burnout from helping professions.
She pays attention to the realities of parenting and family life when that is part of the work. Practical next steps are part of Cherri's style. She helps clients set small, measurable goals and checks in on progress.
Sessions may include skill practice, mindset shifts, and problem-solving to handle day-to-day challenges.
Therapeutic approaches offered online
Cherri commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease anxiety and depression. Acceptance and commitment therapy teaches skills for staying present and acting on personal values even when emotions are difficult.She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help with stress and emotional regulation. Mindfulness teaches simple ways to notice bodily signals and thoughts so clients can make calmer choices in the moment. These approaches are chosen to match each person's goals and the problems they want to change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and therapist collaborate to pick techniques that fit the client's life and preferences.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. These formats allow for regular check-ins, skills practice between meetings, and flexible ways to communicate when in-person visits are not convenient. Many people find this accessibility helps them stay consistent with therapy.
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.
