She is the best therapist!

Cherish is amazing. She’s gentle and kind but still knows how to redirect you to what your triggers are and how to managing them. I would recommend her to ANYONE. I do wish she worked solo or at a company that takes insurance. Better help is way to expensive but I am grateful I was able to get connected with Cherish.

More about Cherish

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I’m a licensed therapist in Florida with over 12 years of professional experience supporting individuals through anxiety, relationship challenges, grief and loss, family conflict, and major life transitions. My work is grounded in respect, compassion, and authenticity. I bring a warm, nonjudgmental presence to each session, creating a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and goals at their own pace. I’ve worked with individuals, couples, and families navigating complex emotions and life experiences - and I understand the importance of tailoring support to each person’s unique story.

My approach to therapy is client-centered, integrative, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches, while also integrating relational and trauma-informed perspectives. I believe that healing happens through a strong therapeutic alliance, honest dialogue, and personalized care planning. Whether you are working through anxiety, seeking better communication in your relationships, or processing past trauma, we’ll work together to identify goals and develop tools that align with your needs, values, and strengths.

Clients can expect to walk away from sessions feeling heard, empowered, and supported with practical tools they can begin using right away. You’ll gain deeper insight into your emotions and behaviors, increase your ability to navigate stress, and build healthier patterns in relationships and in how you care for yourself. Our sessions will be a space for both exploration and action—where meaningful change begins through small, intentional steps. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, connected, and confident in moving forward.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
