Cherie Taylor

Cherie Taylor is an LPC who emphasizes practical, down-to-earth therapy. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles. Cherie also supports clients facing relationship strain, addiction concerns, grief, and major life transitions.

She uses straightforward methods so people can see what to try between sessions. Her work often focuses on coping with life changes and on issues that come with identity and belonging. Sessions are approached with empathy and attention to each person's values and goals.

With nine years of clinical experience in Virginia, Cherie draws on several evidence-informed approaches. She combines techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose actions that matter to them. Attachment-based ideas are used when early relationships shape current concerns.

Cherie also brings skills from dialectical behavior therapy and client-centered therapy to help clients build emotion regulation and communication skills. Therapy sessions are collaborative: clients set the pace and priorities, and Cherie offers tools and exercises to practice between meetings.

People turn to her for help with compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, workplace burnout, grief, and identity-related worries. The work aims to increase day-to-day coping and make room for clearer decisions during transitions.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, then testing small changes to shift mood and functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connections and helps people build healthier ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then try methods together to see what fits. That collaborative decision makes it easier to adjust techniques over time as needs change.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins around work or caregiving, and let people use shorter or more frequent meetings when helpful. Licensed professionals can guide how to structure sessions so they support everyday routines without disrupting them.
