Cherri Crisp

Cherri Crisp is a licensed counselor who supports people facing grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes. She brings 20 years of experience and aims to help people find steady ground during hard times.

She keeps sessions straightforward and person-centered. Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual. Practical tools and reflective listening are used so clients can try small changes between visits.

Cherri blends several therapeutic approaches to suit each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are also used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

Her work often addresses relationship difficulties, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, LGBT concerns, ADHD, and complex grief tied to end-of-life situations. She also helps with issues such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, and codependency. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Cherri holds the LCPC and LPC credentials and practices from South Carolina. She works with each person to set clear, realistic goals and to build skills that fit daily life. New clients begin by sharing current concerns and priorities so sessions can focus on what will help most.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them. It helps people who feel stuck by shifting attention to what matters instead of fighting unwanted thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches practical ways to spot and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when clients want clear strategies to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy builds gentle awareness of thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can ease distress and improve everyday functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which strategies to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing commute time and allowing for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in the settings where problems occur, and they can make scheduling around work or caregiving responsibilities simpler. Licensed professionals adapt exercises so clients can use them between meetings and track progress over time.
