Cherie Taylor, LPC

Cherie Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem problems. Cherie pays attention to the needs of LGBTQ+ clients and people going through life changes. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk and make practical changes.

Cherie uses straightforward, collaborative methods so clients learn skills they can use every day. She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most and take action toward it.

Attachment-based work appears in sessions when relationship patterns matter, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Sessions focus on concrete tools for coping with grief, trauma, addictions, and caregiver stress. Cherie also has interest and experience in aging and geriatric issues and supports people facing those life-stage concerns.

Across nine years of practice she has supported people with complex, overlapping issues such as bipolar conditions, substance problems, codependency, and family-of-origin wounds. Her style is warm and direct, with an emphasis on building strengths and practical problem-solving. She helps clients set realistic goals and practice new skills between sessions.

People who choose Cherie will find a therapist who listens, offers clear options, and works alongside them to manage symptoms and build a more satisfying daily life.

Approaches that guide online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress and focuses on practical skills you can practice between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values. It supports people who want to take meaningful action despite ongoing distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or blend methods based on goals, comfort, and what proves helpful in early sessions. This is a shared process that can be adjusted as needs change.

The original profile does not list session formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to keep therapy consistent during life transitions, caregiver responsibilities, or relocation without promising a specific format.
