About Cherie

Cherie Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and relationship and family concerns. Cherie also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues.

Her practice emphasizes straightforward, practical work. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new strategies. Sessions focus on concrete skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and reducing unhelpful thinking.

Cherie pays attention to how identity and life stage shape difficulties. She includes support for LGBT concerns, caregiver stress, first responder issues, and aging or geriatric matters when relevant. She also addresses codependency, family of origin issues, and problems that arise after divorce or separation.

Therapeutic time may include learning coping tools, practicing alternatives to avoidant behaviors, and working through past hurts that affect current relationships. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to balance skills training with listening and reflection.

People seeking help can expect clear goals and practical steps they can try between sessions. The focus is on manageable changes that fit into daily life and reduce the load of caretaking, work stress, or ongoing emotional pain.

How sessions work

How Cherie uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with personal values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and decisions about relationships or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. It often includes homework to practice skills between sessions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and practice different ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cherie will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels practical, then try methods that fit the person’s situation. That collaborative process may involve mixing techniques and adjusting over time.

Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many adults choose online therapy because it can fit into work breaks, save travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and skills practice to an online setting so sessions fit into everyday life.
