About Cheri
Dr. Cheri Anderson brings nearly three decades of clinical experience to her practice in Michigan.
Background and approach
She holds a PhD in Counseling and Clinical Supervision from Wayne State University and practices as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family problems, and depression, with attention to issues such as abandonment, body image, communication and commitment difficulties, infidelity, and grief-related concerns.
Her approach blends client-centered care with evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR, and she also draws on Motivational Interviewing when appropriate. Dr.
Anderson offers individualized treatment planning and aims to meet clients where they are, tailoring interventions to each person's goals and circumstances. She can provide Christian counseling from a Biblical perspective when requested by the client.
Dr. Anderson works with individuals, couples, and families who seek help navigating emotional pain, relationship conflicts, addictive behaviors, and life transitions.
Her practice emphasizes compassionate listening, practical strategies, and collaborative goal-setting to support emotional healing and improved daily functioning.
Approaches for Online Healing and Practical Change
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with relationships or addictive behaviors. It emphasizes structured techniques and homework to produce measurable change over time.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed approach that can help people process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of troubling symptoms. It is typically used with clients who have experienced trauma and can be adapted for remote work when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods and will adjust the plan as progress and needs evolve.
Online therapy with Dr. Anderson is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to maximize flexibility and access. These options allow clients to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
