About Cheri
Cheri Pfeiffer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Delaware with 16 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes.

Pfeiffer has a long record of working with LGBT adults and with people coping with loss and trauma. She describes therapy as a partnership and treats clients as the experts on their own lives. Sessions focus on clear conversation about what is getting in the way and practical steps to manage day-to-day strain.
In clinical work she helps people sort through painful feelings, reduce persistent worry, and handle changes that affect routines and roles. She also supports people addressing addictions, issues around self-esteem, and anger that affects close relationships. Practical coping skills and steady check-ins are common parts of her work.
Pfeiffer has experience supporting people through aging, cancer, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and living with chronic illness. She also helps people wrestling with isolation, mood disorders, and identity-related stress. Her approach blends listening with straightforward problem solving.
Sessions are conversational and goal-minded. Clients can expect a focus on what they want to change and steps that fit their everyday life. She invites people to begin by describing the problem they want to address and then shaping therapy to those aims.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to address worry and mood problems. Cognitive-style approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing more helpful ways of understanding stressful events. This helps with anxiety, persistent negative thoughts, and everyday decision-making.Grief-focused methods guide people through loss by naming emotions, creating space to remember, and developing practical routines that help with daily functioning. These approaches aim to reduce the intensity of grief reactions and restore regular activities over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions begin with listening to the main problem and then trying small, testable changes so the client can see what helps.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm available formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins during busy days, and remove travel time so therapy fits into a work break or caregiving routine. Discuss the best way to work during the first appointment so sessions fit practical needs and the therapeutic plan.
