About Cherie
Cherie Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with nine years of experience. She focuses on common and complex concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and issues affecting LGBT clients. She also helps people facing relationship strain, grief, addiction, trauma, and life transitions.
Cherie uses practical, evidence-informed tools to help people manage symptoms and daily challenges. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Sessions focus on learning skills, clarifying values, and practicing new ways of coping.
She often works with young adults dealing with the pressures that come with leaving home, starting careers, navigating relationships, and feeling behind. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused, with time for grounding skills and problem solving. Cherie pays attention to cultural and identity factors that shape how stress and anxiety show up.
Beyond mood and anxiety concerns, she addresses addiction, intimacy-related struggles, anger, compassion fatigue, and career or caregiver stress. She also supports people coping with family-of-origin issues, codependency, and adjustment after separation or loss.
People who choose her can expect clear explanations of techniques and collaborative goal setting. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, feeling stuck after life transitions, and building motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for depression and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can help with intense emotions and relationship problems.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist reviews your goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggests which methods to try. Sessions can mix techniques from different approaches so the plan fits your needs and changes over time.
Confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around classes, work shifts, or caregiving duties. It also allows for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and sessions without a commute when time or travel are barriers. If you want to know which session formats are offered now, check the online therapy options before scheduling.
