About Cheri
Cheri Goodwin is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping concerns, and parenting challenges.
She uses a mix of practical therapies to help people get a handle on overwhelming feelings. Sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building skills to respond differently. Mindfulness tools and narrative work are used to notice patterns and reframe personal stories.
Cheri also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help clarify values and find motivation for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy features in sessions that target anxious or depressive thinking and related behaviors. The goal is straightforward change rather than jargon-heavy techniques.
In conversation she tends to be direct and action-oriented. People leave sessions with concrete steps to try between meetings. Progress is tracked in simple, practical ways so work feels relevant to day-to-day life.
Her background includes two decades of practice in Colorado. She has worked with people dealing with complex, overlapping problems such as codependency, substance issues, divorce and blended family stress. Cheri helps clients name patterns such as abandonment, control issues, communication problems, and emptiness, then take manageable steps toward change.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify what matters to you and encourages small actions that align with those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that maintain distress. Mindfulness Therapy builds simple present-moment practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will review goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. Adjustments are made as work progresses so sessions stay focused and useful.
