About Cheri
Cheri Goodwin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and parenting concerns. She also focuses on codependency, abandonment, communication and commitment struggles, and related relationship patterns.
Cheri keeps language direct in sessions. She helps people name what’s happening, notice patterns, and make practical changes that feel manageable. Expect clear conversation about thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions use straightforward tools rather than jargon-heavy explanations.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thinking and Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment skills. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas and Motivational Interviewing to support decisions about change. Narrative Therapy appears when people want to reframe their life stories and regain agency.
Clients often bring urgent problems like panic, grief after loss, or the fallout of relationship conflict. Cheri offers focused strategies for coping, changing patterns, and reducing harmful behaviors tied to addiction or dependence on others. She addresses both symptoms and the situations that keep them active.
Her approach is practical and task-oriented. Early sessions tend to clarify goals and identify small experiments to try between meetings. People leave sessions with simple next steps to practice and report back on in the following appointment.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online work can fit
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for people who feel held back by fear or uncertainty. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought that drive unhelpful behaviors and testing new ways of responding. It is often applied to anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheri collaborates with clients to select and adapt techniques based on their goals, daily routines, and what feels doable. She will check in and adjust methods as progress or obstacles appear.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions fit work and family schedules more easily, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or let them continue care without transit time. Online sessions can make it simpler to practice grounding and mindfulness exercises in everyday settings and to review homework between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness tools for a virtual setting to keep work focused and practical.
