About Cheri
Cheri Goodwin is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Colorado with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults managing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and parenting difficulties.
Cheri focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help reduce overwhelming thoughts and interrupt unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to change behaviors related to substance use or habits that are causing harm.
Her sessions typically involve clear goals and exercises people can practice between meetings. She draws on narrative ideas to help clients make sense of difficult events and reclaim a sense of agency. That can be helpful after loss, separation, or other disruptions to everyday life.
People who come because of relationship strain or parenting stress will be offered ways to improve communication and set manageable boundaries. For those dealing with grief or the aftermath of abuse, sessions combine coping strategies with attention to pacing and safety planning as needed.
Cheri emphasizes letting clients notice what matters to them and then taking small, concrete steps toward those values. She asks direct questions, suggests experiments to try outside sessions, and reviews what did and did not work. The first appointment is used to set priorities and decide which approaches will be most useful.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values. In practice this means noticing painful thoughts without letting them decide actions and choosing small behaviors that reflect chosen priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep people feeling stuck. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Cheri will collaborate with each person to decide whether ACT, CBT, mindfulness, or a combination is most helpful for their goals and circumstances. That decision evolves as progress and preferences become clearer.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking since they are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that practicing techniques between sessions is simpler when sessions are already part of the weekly routine, which can help integrate change into everyday life.
