About Cheri

Cheri Epps is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of counseling experience. She focuses on helping people who face addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. Cheri aims to create a calm space where people feel heard and accepted as they are, so they can begin to make changes that matter to them.

She works in a straightforward, practical way. Sessions typically include talking through immediate concerns, identifying strengths, and learning coping strategies that can be used between meetings. Cheri emphasizes clear steps people can try right away to reduce distress and build confidence.

Over her career she has supported people with issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, communication struggles, codependency, and difficulties after divorce or separation. She also helps with caregiver stress, body image concerns, and navigating aging or blended family situations. Her work covers both emotional pain and everyday challenges that get in the way of functioning.

Cheri holds LCSW and LICSW credentials, which are written here as Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. She practices in Texas and offers services in English. Her approach is collaborative; she wants clients to shape goals and try strategies that fit their life.

To begin, Cheri asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on her availability. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical steps and skills you can use day to day. For example, approaches that teach coping strategies help people manage strong emotions like anger or anxiety by practicing specific tools and behaviors. Another common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful patterns in relationships and trying small, planned changes to improve communication and boundaries; this can help with codependency, attachment issues, and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses so adjustments can be made when something is not working.

The biography does not list which session formats are used, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow a quieter check-in without needing to take a long break. It can also make shorter, focused meetings easier when time is limited. Talk with the therapist about which setup would best fit your schedule and communication preferences.
