About Cheri

Cheri Goodwin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, intimacy-related concerns, and difficulties with eating, sleeping, and parenting.

Background and approach

With two decades of clinical experience, she brings a steady, practical approach aimed at helping clients regain a sense of control and resilience when life feels overwhelming. Her work integrates cognitive behavioral techniques alongside acceptance and commitment principles and mindfulness practices to help clients identify patterns, learn new skills, and make changes that fit their values.

Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy are also woven into her practice when useful to clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change. Cheri focuses on uncovering underlying contributors to distress and on building coping strategies that are usable in day-to-day life.

Clients can expect a collaborative, goal-oriented process that moves at a pace suited to their needs. Cheri emphasizes practical tools and reflective exploration to address not only presenting symptoms but also related concerns such as abandonment, codependency, communication or commitment issues, substance use, and the emotional impacts of separation or domestic violence.

Online Approaches That Help You Move Forward

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and develop psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult emotions while committing to meaningful action. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance techniques that can reduce reactivity and support coping with trauma, grief, and everyday stressors.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to consider symptoms, goals, and preferences, and will adapt methods over time to find what fits best for the person and their situation.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for fitting sessions into busy lives and for maintaining continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide regular, consistent support while letting clients choose the communication style that works best for them.
