Elizabeth Cherry, LMHC

Elizabeth Cherry is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, and ADHD. She works with adults coping with grief, anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Her tone is warm and straightforward, and she focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.

With 19 years of experience, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the person and to build small, doable changes. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats each person with respect and sensitivity.

Elizabeth adapts conversations and plans to match individual needs. She listens first, then helps set concrete short-term goals. Common topics include managing mood disorders, postpartum depression, social anxiety, and problems with communication and control.

She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, seasonal mood shifts, and isolation. Her approach blends practical problem-solving with strategies to change unhelpful thinking and to increase present-moment calm. Clients can expect tools they can try between sessions.

Her practice uses a mix of talking, guided exercises, and mindful awareness to tackle specific concerns. The emphasis is on collaboration and on finding what actually helps in daily life. If someone is ready to make changes, she offers steady guidance and encouragement.

How these approaches work in online sessions

Elizabeth commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based techniques in online work. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try different responses to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, anger, and mood shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That may mean starting with short, solution-focused steps and adding CBT or mindfulness tools as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and messaging can work for short updates, coping reminders, or when someone prefers written check-ins. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and varying daily needs.
