About Cherie

Cherie Taylor, LPC, draws on nine years of clinical experience to guide people through complex emotions and life transitions using an integrative, client-centered stance.

Background and approach

She blends Internal Family Systems with evidence-based therapies to help individuals untangle internal conflicts, build emotional resilience, and develop practical coping strategies for problems like anxiety, depression, and stress. Her work emphasizes compassion, respect, and culturally aware care while focusing on each person’s unique strengths.

Across a broad set of concerns including trauma, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and career or caregiver stress, she helps clients clarify goals and try new ways of responding to old patterns. Cherie also attends to issues such as bipolar symptoms, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and family-of-origin dynamics, combining talk-based interventions with skills-driven methods like cognitive behavioral techniques.

Practitioners and people in Virginia turn to her for a collaborative process that supports steady progress and practical change.

Integrative Approaches for Online Therapeutic Work

Internal Family Systems is used to help people explore inner parts and their relationships within the mind, supporting work on internal conflicts, self-protection patterns, and healing after trauma. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values, increasing psychological flexibility, and learning practical tools to live a meaningful life despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to relational patterns formed early in life and helps clients develop more supported ways of connecting and regulating emotions in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss how these methods align with a client’s goals, preferences, and presenting concerns and may combine elements from different models to create a tailored plan that evolves as progress is made.

Online work with Cherie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow sessions to fit into busy schedules, support continuity of care across life changes, and provide multiple ways to engage in therapy that suit different communication styles and needs.
