About Cheri

Cheri Mills is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and depression. She centers sessions on each person's strengths and values. Cheri aims to support people taking the first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

She uses a client-centered stance that treats the client as the expert on their story. That means conversations focus on what matters most to the person and build on existing strengths. Cheri combines this with practical skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice patterns of thinking and make small, doable changes.

When trauma or intense emotional pain comes up, she draws on approaches that help process difficult memories and reduce their hold on daily life. Mindfulness techniques are used to teach simple ways to settle the nervous system and increase present-moment awareness. Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas can support emotion regulation and more effective coping during crises.

Cheri also addresses relationship stress, family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, and challenges around self esteem and life purpose. She helps people who are dealing with codependency, communication problems, or substance use to find clearer choices and healthier patterns.

Her style is supportive and goal-oriented. A typical session involves listening, reflecting, and working together on practical steps that fit daily life. People who want to change their patterns and build self worth often find this approach useful.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on what already works for a person. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client’s priorities and helps shape goals that fit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; online CBT often includes brief between-session tasks and clear skill practice. EMDR is an approach used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity; when it is used in remote work the therapist guides pacing and techniques to help people stay regulated during recall.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try different ways of working without committing to long-term changes up front.
