About Cheri

Cheri Goodwin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports parenting challenges and pregnancy and childbirth-related worries. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at helping people feel more in control quickly.

Cheri brings 20 years of clinical experience to sessions. She uses clear, hands-on tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness. Sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful thinking, building small habits, and using mindful awareness to lower reactivity.

She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify values and find motivation for change. Narrative techniques are used when it helps clients make sense of painful experiences and reclaim a more helpful story about themselves.

Cheri tends to move at a practical pace. Early sessions usually focus on immediate stress relief and on spotting patterns that keep problems going. From there she partners with each person to set short-term goals and steady steps they can try between sessions.

Many people notice relief within a few meetings when they practice suggested strategies. Cheri emphasizes realistic, manageable changes rather than quick fixes. She works from Colorado and offers sessions in English for adults seeking support with the concerns listed above.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is practical and often involves exercises to try between sessions, which can be reviewed in later meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce stress and ground attention, useful for managing anxiety, sleep, and emotional reactivity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters most and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to prioritize.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a shorter contact is needed. It also lets people use mindfulness and homework exercises in real daily settings, which can help transfer skills into everyday life.
