Cheri Doval

Cheri Doval is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience. She focuses on creating a strong working relationship first, and then helps people address the problems that brought them to therapy. Cheri listens carefully and brings steady support while people talk through hard moments.

She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, mindfulness practices to calm intense feelings, and trauma-focused methods for painful memories. Sessions are paced to the person's comfort and concerns rather than a single fixed method.

Cheri helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and anger. She also supports those coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Additional areas she addresses include adoption and foster care, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and Veteran and Armed Forces issues.

Her style is warm, attentive, and energetic. She aims to make therapy feel collaborative so people leave with clearer next steps and skills to use between sessions. Cheri draws on clinical training and years of personal and professional experience to guide conversations.

Located in Florida, Cheri works with English-speaking clients and accepts international clients as well. Before starting, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the site booking flow.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and make small committed moves toward them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and life changes by focusing on what matters most rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and skill-building to reduce unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep problems like depression and anxiety going.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-informed approach that addresses distressing memories and the emotions attached to them. It is often used when past events continue to cause strong reactions in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaboration means adjustments can be made as therapy unfolds.

For practical matters, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life, make it easier to have shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid travel time to an office. Discuss scheduling and format details during the initial matching and booking steps to choose what fits best.
