Cherysh Green-Caldwell, LCSW, CSW

Cherysh Green-Caldwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of clinical practice. She earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Albany State University and has worked in diverse settings including mental health and substance abuse programs, hospice care, and criminal justice treatment programs.

She uses clear, goal-focused care and checks progress with clients as therapy moves forward. Sessions are collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted over time. Cherysh aims to make sessions feel open and nonjudgmental so people can speak honestly about what they’re facing.

Her experience includes work with depression, anxiety, grief, chronic pain or illness, anger and stress management, and challenges with self-image and self-esteem. She has also provided clinical and administrative supervision for social work students, interns, and other professionals.

Cherysh draws on a mix of approaches to meet practical needs. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thought and behavior patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support values-based choices, and Client-Centered techniques to keep the session attuned to each person’s priorities. Mindfulness and emotionally focused ideas are part of her toolbox when they fit a client’s goals.

People who choose her often want concrete strategies for everyday struggles along with supportive reflection. She emphasizes steady evaluation of progress and adapts the work as life changes and new concerns arise.

How CBT and ACT translate to online therapy

Cherysh commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT encourages noticing difficult feelings while choosing actions that match personal values, which is helpful for coping with life changes and chronic stress.

She approaches the choice of methods as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client decide which approach or combination fits current goals and practical needs. That means exercises, homework, and check-ins are adapted to the person’s pace and priorities rather than following a fixed script.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and emotional work. Phone sessions can be useful when a video connection is not possible or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are handy for shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone needs flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
