Cheri Pfeiffer

Cheri Pfeiffer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 16 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. Cheri often supports people facing life changes, including medical diagnoses and terminal illness, and she has a history of working with LGBT adults.

Cheri takes a straightforward, partner-style approach to counseling. She aims to make the room a place where people can name feelings and tell their story without judgment. Sessions are a chance to sort through what matters now and decide on small, practical steps that feel doable.

Her work covers a broad range of concerns from mood disorders and coping after loss to caregiver stress and issues related to aging or serious illness. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related challenges, addictions, and the emotional effects of trauma and abuse.

Cheri emphasizes that clients bring expertise about their own lives. She listens for each person's strengths and goals, then helps shape a plan that fits their day-to-day reality. This may include building coping skills, finding ways to manage difficult emotions, or coaching around life transitions.

People who want a respectful, nonjudgmental guide through grief, health-related change, or ongoing anxiety may find her style helpful. She invites those ready to begin to take the first step toward making changes and planning next steps.

Evidence-based approaches and online counseling

Many clinicians who focus on grief, loss, and life transitions draw on evidence-based techniques that help people manage intense feelings and make practical changes. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach focuses on building coping skills and managing grief by naming emotions, creating routines, and setting small, achievable goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheri will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She listens for what helps and adjusts plans together as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session format options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a busy day, skip travel time, and maintain continuity of care when managing health issues. Ask about scheduling, session length, and any technical needs when you sign up so appointments can fit into your routine.
