About Cherie
Cherie Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who centers her work on helping people navigate emotional challenges. She focuses on clear, practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles.
Background and approach
Cherie uses steady, compassionate guidance to help clients make small changes that add up over time. Cherie blends relationship-focused ideas from the Gottman Method with goal-oriented approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
She draws on attachment-based and client-centered techniques to create sessions that feel grounded and respectful. This mix helps clients who are managing grief, trauma, addiction, or major life transitions.
Many people come to her with concerns about intimacy, anger, career stress, or complicated family history. She also addresses issues linked to caregiving, aging, and first responder stress.
Sessions aim to build coping skills and better communication rather than rely on quick fixes. Cherie has nine years of clinical experience working with a broad range of concerns including bipolar symptoms, substance misuse, and codependency.
She pays attention to how co-occurring problems interact and helps people prioritize what to address first. Therapy with Cherie usually includes concrete tools and straightforward planning.
She helps people set realistic goals, practice new ways of responding, and track progress over time. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through a variety of online formats.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Online sessions can use Gottman-informed methods to help people notice interaction patterns and improve communication. In short conversations the focus is on identifying small, repeatable steps people can try between sessions to change how they relate to others or to themselves.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It works well for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by emphasizing practical steps and committed behavior change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. It can be useful when people struggle with closeness, trust, or repeated conflict patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, suggest methods that fit those aims, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients are invited to give feedback so work stays focused and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is good for face-to-face work and practicing new skills. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can be convenient for short check-ins and ongoing support between sessions.
