Cheri Pfeiffer, LCSW

Cheri Pfeiffer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 16 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, loss, and depression. She also supports people coping with major life changes and medical or terminal diagnoses.

Cheri has a long history of working with LGBT adults and affirms LGBTQ identities. She helps clients talk through relationship and intimacy concerns, manage anger, and rebuild self-esteem. She also offers coaching-style support when someone wants practical steps alongside therapy.

Her work includes attention to aging and geriatric issues, cancer and hospice related concerns, caregiver stress, and health-related challenges such as HIV/AIDS. She also addresses isolation, mood disorders, addictions, and issues tied to disasters and trauma and abuse.

Cheri approaches therapy as a partnership. She aims to make the room open and nonjudgmental so clients can share feelings and make decisions that fit their lives. She views the person in the context of their real-world challenges rather than relying on jargon.

People who choose her often want straightforward help and a clinician who listens closely. To begin, she asks people to take a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on availability. Cheri practices in Delaware and works with English-speaking clients, including those outside the United States.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Cheri uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage distress and life changes. One approach she often relies on focuses on helping people process grief and loss through steady, structured conversations that make room for feelings and practical planning. Another common approach centers on stress and anxiety reduction with skills to manage strong emotions and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheri works with each person to figure out which techniques match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as needs change. She emphasizes clear, person-centered planning so clients know what to expect and can measure progress together.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care across locations, which can be helpful for those who move or live outside the therapist's state. Discuss scheduling and format during the matching and booking steps to find what will work best for daily life.
