Cheri Epps

Cheri Epps is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience helping people face problems like addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. She aims to create a calm setting where people feel seen and accepted. That first feeling of being heard is central to how she begins work with someone.

She uses practical talk and clear steps to find what helps most. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, building coping skills, and setting small goals that add up. Cheri emphasizes realistic strategies people can use between meetings to manage strong feelings and reduce conflict.

Her approach is collaborative. She listens for what matters to each person and adjusts the work to fit their goals. Topics she often addresses include attachment and relationship patterns, communication and control issues, codependency, caregiver stress, and life transitions such as divorce or aging concerns.

Cheri also supports people dealing with personality-related struggles like avoidant, dependent, and antisocial personality patterns when these issues affect daily life. She helps people weigh options and practice different responses in safe conversation before trying them out in real situations.

People who choose her work together on building confidence and clearer direction. Cheri encourages steady steps and measures progress along the way. For anyone feeling stuck by past trauma, substance use, grief, or frequent anger, she offers steady guidance and practical skills to move forward.

Evidence-based techniques and online support

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing thoughts and behaviors and building new coping skills. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try alternative ways of thinking and responding; this can reduce reactivity and support clearer choices when anger or cravings arise. Another useful technique teaches practical emotion-regulation skills and step-by-step coping tools to manage intense feelings, stress, and grief so daily life feels more manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped or not helped before, and what fits their style. That collaborative process guides which techniques are emphasized and how sessions are organized.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can still guide skill practice, review progress, and adjust plans during remote sessions to keep momentum toward the goals you set.
