About Cherie

Cherie Felzer is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Hawaii who helps people rebuild self-esteem and handle life’s hard turns. She offers a calm, steady presence and invites clients to notice the body, emotions, and everyday choices that shape well-being. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on learning how to respond to stress with more ease.

Cherie draws on more than 11 years of clinical experience and a long personal history with movement and somatic practices. She blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening to help people feel seen and understood. Mindfulness practices and somatic tools are used when they fit the person’s goals and comfort level.

Her work has included supporting people through grief, caregiving, cancer and hospice related concerns, addiction recovery, and major life changes. She also helps those facing isolation, career shifts, relationship stresses, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. Cherie emphasizes reconnecting to self, body, and purpose while honoring real-life limits.

In sessions she acts as a companion rather than an instructor. Conversations often move between talk, breath awareness, and gentle body-based practices when helpful. The focus is on small, manageable changes that build self-love and resilience over time.

People who prefer an experiential, movement-informed approach may find her style a good fit. Prospective clients are encouraged to read about the matching process and schedule a first appointment to see how the approach suits their needs.

How Cherie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Attachment-based ideas focus on how relationships shape feelings of safety and self-worth; in online sessions this can mean talking about relationship patterns and practicing new ways of connecting. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and supporting your choices, so the therapist follows your lead and helps you name what matters most right now.

Mindfulness therapy invites simple attention practices for noticing thoughts, breath, and body sensations. These practices can help with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem by building steady habits of self-awareness you can use between sessions. Somatic tools pay attention to bodily signals and gentle movement to help shift stuck emotion into more livable states when that feels appropriate.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will help you experiment with different methods and decide together what feels most helpful for your goals and preferences. You can adjust pacing, emphasis, and techniques as you learn what supports your confidence and purpose.

Session formats should be confirmed before booking so you know the options available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that working this way helps them practice new skills in their everyday setting and keeps progress moving between meetings.
