Cherish Krisciunas, LCSW

Cherish Krisciunas is a Florida licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience. She brings a warm, nonjudgmental presence to sessions and focuses on helping people manage anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and major life changes.

Her work centers on a client-centered, collaborative approach. She listens closely to each person's story and tailors care to individual needs and goals. Sessions mix talking, practical tools, and simple exercises to help people cope day to day.

Cherish uses a blend of proven methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, and emotion-focused work. She integrates these approaches to address trauma and abuse when it is part of a person's history, always adapting to what feels most useful for the person in front of her.

People meet Cherish to reduce stress, work through grief, improve intimacy, or build better patterns in relationships and self-care. She also supports those dealing with career strain, caregiver stress, shame, or isolation. The aim is steady progress through manageable steps and clearer communication.

Her goal is that clients leave sessions feeling heard and with tools they can use right away. She helps people name small goals, practice new responses, and build on strengths so daily life becomes more manageable and relationships more connected.

How Cherish’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions that align with what matters to you. It helps when people feel stuck or overwhelmed by anxiety or difficult emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships and communication. It can be useful for improving intimacy and repairing trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and habits, then tests new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cherish collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best. She adapts techniques to goals, preferences, and the pace that feels right for the client.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since current session options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. They also let people use quieter surroundings or switch to audio-only when video is difficult. Ask about available formats when you schedule to find what will work for your life.
