About Cheri
Cheri Atkinson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with more than 40 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self esteem, depression, grief, relationship strain, and the daily toll of caregiving and chronic illness. Cheri focuses on practical support and steady guidance as people take the first steps toward change.
Cheri creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what feels hard. She listens for how feelings, thoughts, and life events connect. From there she helps people build emotional coping skills they can use right away. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small, manageable steps.
Her work includes supporting people through life transitions, medical and physical changes after accidents, and long-term health challenges. Cheri also addresses concerns such as guilt and shame, grief and loss, anger, and career stress. She pays attention to how these concerns affect daily routines and relationships.
Therapy with Cheri is collaborative. She tailors the approach to each person’s needs rather than following a single method. That means practical tools, problem-solving, and emotional processing when it’s helpful. The aim is better coping, clearer perspective, and more confidence handling life’s ups and downs.
Cheri practices in California and holds the LCSW credential. Conversations are in English, and she brings decades of clinical experience to each session.
