About Cheri

Cheri Goodwin, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and struggles with intimacy and addiction. She focuses on practical steps that reduce daily overwhelm and help clients feel more in control. Her approach is straightforward and hopeful for people who feel stuck.

Cheri draws on about 20 years of clinical work in Colorado. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful actions.

Sessions aim to uncover what lies beneath symptoms and tackle those roots with clear exercises and short-term goals. Cheri also uses motivational interviewing to support change around substance use and other behavior shifts. Narrative techniques can help people reframe painful stories and find more workable perspectives.

Her style is direct but warm. She frames work in simple steps so progress is easy to see. People often leave sessions with a few concrete actions to try before the next meeting.

Cheri asks people to pick a path forward based on their goals rather than labels. She encourages repetition of small practices to build steadier coping over time. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details so they match personal needs.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns like codependency when someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking. It often helps with anxiety, mood, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and try approaches that fit those aims. Together they decide which methods feel most useful and adjust the plan over time.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in during a day off. It can also make some skill practices easier to try between sessions. Ask about scheduling details and session length when you match with a therapist to make sure it fits your routine.
