About Cherice
Cherice Peagler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and problems with anger. Cherice also supports people working on self-esteem and managing big life changes.
She focuses on practical skills you can use between sessions. That includes clearer communication, building self-love, and steps to reduce reactive anger. Sessions pay attention to what is happening now and what gets in the way of steady progress.
Cherice encourages straightforward conversations about social anxiety and phobia. She helps people notice patterns that lead to tension and teaches concrete ways to change those patterns. Work often includes short exercises and practice tasks to try outside of sessions.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. Clients set goals and they track small changes together. The work can include talking through relationship problems and finding ways to repair or protect important connections.
Over two decades in practice have given her experience with life's turning points. She supports people figuring out life purpose and rebuilding confidence after setbacks. The focus is on realistic steps that fit day-to-day life, not on quick fixes.
Approaches for anger and relationships online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used for anger issues include cognitive-behavioral methods and skills-based coaching. Cognitive-behavioral work helps identify unhelpful thoughts that fuel angry reactions and teaches ways to test and change those thoughts. Skills-based coaching focuses on practical techniques like breathing, time-outs, and communication scripts to reduce reactivity and improve interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That decision is reviewed over the first few sessions and adjusted as needed to keep progress moving.
Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while practicing new skills in real life.
