About Cherri
Cherri McCord is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider, LPC-MHSP, with 14 years of experience. She practices in Tennessee and focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, and self-esteem. She also supports people managing career shifts, bipolar mood concerns, and other life transitions.
In sessions she keeps things straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that keep problems repeating. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and DBT to change unhelpful thinking and to teach skills for handling strong feelings. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in when they fit the person’s goals.
People who come for anger-related work learn ways to slow down before reacting. She helps identify triggers, practice different responses, and rebuild trust after heated moments. For addictions and co-occurring issues she addresses both behavior and the reasons behind it, with attention to communication and control struggles.
Her background includes many settings and a variety of client concerns, including adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, relationship betrayal, and fertility-related strain. She draws on problem-solving and solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable steps.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and measurable progress. The counselor encourages regular check-ins on what’s working and what needs changing. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. It helps people name what matters to them and set goals that feel relevant. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to change thinking patterns and behaviors that feed anger, anxiety, and low mood. It is useful for problem-solving and reducing repeated reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will review goals and try techniques together to see what fits. That collaborative process guides whether more skills-based work, mindfulness practice, or motivational interviewing is emphasized.
Confirm session formats before booking so you know how she offers appointments. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Different formats also let people choose quieter surroundings, use less bandwidth, or avoid being on camera depending on practical needs.
