About Cherri

Cherri Crisp is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and codependency. Cherri also supports people coping with grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her sessions are straightforward and focused on what helps a person regain steadiness. She listens to how a problem shows up in daily life and helps clients try practical skills to change how they react. Conversations often include setting limits, improving communication, and spotting patterns that keep someone stuck.

Cherri uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered work, and mindfulness. That means sessions can involve noticing thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and building skills for distress tolerance and emotional regulation. She adapts those tools to the concerns a person brings in.

Her background across two decades shapes a pragmatic style. She draws on experience with adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, blended family matters, body image, caregiver stress, domestic violence, and related areas that often appear alongside codependent patterns.

People meet her for help with clearer boundaries, less people-pleasing, and more predictable emotional responses. To start, she asks about current struggles and what the client hopes to change, then makes a plan for the next steps.

How sessions work

How Cherri uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values despite difficult feelings. It can be useful for someone stuck in people-pleasing or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that lead to anxious or depressive behavior and practicing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness, which can help with codependent responses and anger.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cherri will listen to the concerns, goals, and day-to-day situations the person brings and then suggest one or more methods to try. She adapts techniques based on what helps in real life, and clients give feedback so the plan changes when needed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they fit into work or family schedules more easily, can shorten travel time, and make it simpler to maintain continuity during life transitions. Practical benefits include easier scheduling around appointments, the ability to use shorter check-ins when needed, and continuity of care even when routines change. Licensed professionals can help clients translate skills practiced in sessions into daily routines.
