Cherie Taylor, LPC

Cherie Taylor is an LPC who focuses on helping people move through difficult emotions and life changes. She works with adults in Virginia to address stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma and abuse. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at making therapy understandable and useful for day-to-day life.

Cherie draws on practical methods to help clients build skills for coping and for managing intense feelings. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to increase emotional regulation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify values and take steps that matter to them.

She also incorporates attachment-based and client-centered ideas to strengthen self-understanding and relationships. That means sessions often focus on how past connections shape current reactions and on providing a steady, respectful space to talk things through. The goal is to create tools that can be used between sessions.

Cherie has nine years of experience working with concerns such as grief, addiction, intimacy-related issues, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to the needs of LGBTQ people and to the stresses that come with major life transitions. Her work includes support for caregiver stress, family-of-origin matters, and first responder issues.

Practical steps are central in her approach. Clients work on clear, achievable goals. Progress is tracked by changes in daily routines, coping skills, and relationships rather than on labels or diagnoses.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Cherie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thinking and take meaningful action. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values and committed action, helping people move toward what matters despite difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cherie works collaboratively to choose or blend methods based on each person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences. She checks in over time and adjusts strategies when something isn’t helping.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, cut commuting time, and keep regular momentum between sessions. It also allows shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed, and phone sessions can reduce bandwidth needs or screen time. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches effectively for remote work, focusing on concrete skills, values-based action plans, and emotional regulation exercises that translate to everyday routines.
