About Cheri

Cheri Epps is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of counseling experience. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and practices in Texas. She works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns.

She focuses on clear, practical steps rather than jargon. Sessions look at what sets off strong reactions and which coping strategies help in the moment. She talks through patterns that keep anger and resentment active and helps people notice early warning signs so they can try different responses.

Her background centers on hands-on counseling across many kinds of life stress. Cheri uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with grief, substance use, and the fallout from trauma. She also addresses related issues such as attachment, communication problems, control issues, and caregiver stress.

Work in sessions tends to be goal-oriented and action-focused. Clients may practice new ways to handle conflict, rehearse calmer responses, and build skills to manage strong emotions. She helps people break down problems into manageable steps and track small changes over time.

Cheri encourages straightforward conversation about what is working and what is not. She supports people who feel stuck after loss, after a breakup, or when old patterns keep repeating. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Many of Cheri’s methods focus on teaching concrete skills people can use right away. Cognitive-behavioral style techniques help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different, calmer responses; these approaches are useful for anger, anxiety, and self-esteem work. Trauma-informed strategies look at how past experiences shape reactions and provide pacing and grounding skills to reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Cheri will work with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That means checking what helps, adjusting plans, and trying practical exercises together until a useful mix of strategies emerges.

The practical benefits of online sessions depend on the formats offered. The biography did not list session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt skills practice to a remote setting so clients still rehearse new responses and get feedback between sessions.
