About Cheri

Cheri Goodwin, LPC, helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or in the middle of life transitions. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, intimacy issues, and problems with eating or sleeping. Her style is straightforward and calm, aimed at helping people regain a sense of control and make steady progress.

With 20 years of experience, she draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and build new habits. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and Narrative Therapy to reframe personal stories. Motivational Interviewing is brought in when someone needs help finding internal motivation for change.

Cheri explains things plainly and focuses on small, manageable steps. Sessions emphasize workable strategies - simple exercises, thought tracking, and short mindfulness practices people can use between meetings. She aims to make the process feel collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Her background includes two decades of clinical work in Colorado, giving her familiarity with a wide range of life challenges. She encourages people to try a few sessions to see how the approaches fit their goals.

People who want to begin are asked to use the site's Start Therapy button and complete a brief matching questionnaire. From there, scheduling follows the therapist's availability and the subscription model the site uses.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and issues tied to life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief attention exercises and grounding practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, day-to-day life, and preferences before deciding which approaches to emphasize. That shared planning makes it easier to try methods and adjust them as needed.

Because session formats are not specified in the provided biography, confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by removing travel and allowing a quicker transition between daily tasks. It can also support shorter check-ins or standing weekly sessions that help maintain momentum while people practice new skills between meetings.
