About Cherry

Cherry Weaver is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of clinical experience. She practices in Utah and works with adults around issues such as depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, relationship conflicts, grief, and parenting concerns. Cherry uses practical methods to help people manage stress, improve communication, and build skills for daily life.

She trained at the graduate level and holds the LPC and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) credentials.

Background and approach

TX LPC 18833 and UT LCMHC 12455879-6004 are on record. Cherry blends several established approaches rather than relying on a single method, tailoring work to each person’s situation. Her sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused.

She draws from client-centered work to keep conversations grounded in what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thought and change unhelpful behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are added when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are primary concerns.

Mindfulness practices are offered to help with present-moment awareness and coping with stress. Motivational Interviewing supports readiness for change when people face addiction or ambivalence. Parents looking for direction around blended family dynamics, communication problems, or co-parenting may find her practical stance helpful.

Cherry also addresses issues like codependency, forgiveness, and recovery from domestic violence with clear, skills-based steps.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Cherry commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions, and teaches concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. It adds practical tools for handling intense feelings and conflict, which can be useful for mood disorders, anger, and relational stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on progress and needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow follow-up between sessions, and support continuing care when travel or time is a barrier. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT skills work to these formats so people can practice tools in their daily routines.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
