About Cherri

Cherri Crisp is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, relationship concerns, grief, and related challenges. Cherri also lists support for LGBT concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and coping with life changes.

She keeps sessions direct and practical. Conversations focus on problem solving, emotion regulation, and clearer communication. Techniques draw from cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness practice, and client-centered listening.

Cherri pays attention to the everyday effects of hard experiences. Parents and adults who feel overwhelmed by caregiving, grief, or family conflict will find concrete skills and strategies here. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what works over time.

Her background includes work across a broad set of concerns such as abandonment, blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, codependency and control issues. She also supports people dealing with body image, cancer-related stress, and caregiver burnout.

Sessions aim to combine skills with straightforward reflection. Cherri encourages short practical exercises between meetings and uses mindfulness and DBT-informed tools when strong emotions make daily life harder. The focus is on usable steps that can fit into a busy household and daily routine.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful when life changes or repeated patterns make decisions difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT is a hands-on way to tackle worry, panic, or persistent negative thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which techniques to try first. Sessions can blend methods so that skills practice, mindfulness exercises, and values-based action all fit the client’s needs.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when days are full. They also let people practice skills between sessions in the settings where problems happen. Licensed professionals adapt the pace and homework to match daily life and household demands.
