About Cherri

Cherri Crisp is a licensed therapist practicing in South Carolina with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, grief, relationship and family challenges, parenting, bipolar conditions, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, domestic violence, and other complex emotional concerns. Her style blends evidence-based methods with empathic listening, inviting clients to explore practical tools for coping and growth.

Cherri uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered techniques, and mindfulness practices to help people build resilience and manageable strategies for daily life. She encourages collaboration and tailors interventions to each person’s situation and goals.

Cherri holds LCPC and LPC credentials and brings two decades of work with diverse presentations to her practice. She accepts English-speaking clients and is available to work with international clients as well, offering a range of online session formats to fit varying schedules and needs.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Cherri integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness practices to address emotional and behavioral difficulties. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to produce measurable changes in mood and functioning, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and acceptance of difficult internal experiences, supporting people facing grief, chronic worry, or life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting interventions over time to find what fits best. This cooperative stance helps clients feel involved in shaping an approach that aligns with their needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules or geographic constraints. Sessions can take place via video calls or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible through live chat or text-based messaging, allowing for skills review, between-session support, and continuity of care across differing routines and time zones.
