About Cherie

Cherie Taylor is an LPC based in Virginia who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage emotional challenges and life transitions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside complementary approaches to help clients recognize unhelpful patterns, develop coping strategies, and work toward clearer goals.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical experience, she blends skill-based interventions with a collaborative, client-centered stance to tailor care to individual needs. Cherie works with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, and relationship or family problems.

Her practice also addresses related areas such as caregiver stress, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, career stress, compassion fatigue, and aging or geriatric issues. She frames treatment around practical tools and emotional insights so clients can build resilience and move through life changes with greater clarity and agency.

Applying practical therapeutic approaches in online care

There are several approaches Cherie commonly uses that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients notice and change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress by teaching concrete skills and experiments to practice between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-guided action and developing psychological flexibility, supporting people who are managing difficult emotions or navigating life transitions to pursue meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early relational experiences, helping clients explore how attachment styles shape current communication and intimacy concerns.

Choosing among these methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in session, blending practical skills training with deeper relational or values work as needed. This partnership helps tailor an approach that fits the client rather than applying a single method by default.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and access consistent care from where a person lives in Virginia. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice to each format to support steady progress.
