About Cherie
Cherie Taylor is an LPC based in Virginia who uses practical therapy approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She centers care on respect and cultural awareness, especially for LGBTQ+ clients and those facing major life changes. Sessions aim to help people build coping skills and feel steadier day to day.
Cherie blends several evidence-informed approaches to meet each person where they are. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and acceptance and commitment therapy to build values-driven action. Attachment-based and client-centered work shape how she explores relationship patterns and emotional needs.
Her background includes nine years of practice with adults facing mood disorders, addiction concerns, grief, and trauma. She also supports people struggling with caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, career strain, and issues tied to aging. First responders and those affected by natural or human-caused disaster are noted focus areas among her experience.
In sessions Cherie keeps language plain and practical. She helps people set small goals, learn coping strategies, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People who are ready to begin are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Cherie’s practice follows Virginia licensing standards as an LPC and offers care in English.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and decisions during major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches concrete skills for shifting unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for mood concerns, stress, and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cherie will talk with each person about goals and how they prefer to work. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing commute time and allowing check-ins from different locations. Some formats may be better for shorter coaching-style visits, while others support longer therapy conversations or skills practice. Discuss scheduling preferences and practical needs during the initial matching and scheduling steps to choose what will work best.
