About Cherry

Cherry Weaver is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 22 years of clinical experience. Trained at the master's level, she has provided care across inpatient substance abuse and psychiatric hospitalization, partial and intensive outpatient programs, and independent practice settings.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, couples and domestic violence, and a broad range of related concerns such as grief, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and addiction-related difficulties.

Cherry blends evidence-informed methods to match each person's needs, drawing on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Imago Relationship Therapy, and Mindfulness practices. She emphasizes a collaborative pace that honors where people are in their lives and lets clients help shape the focus and goals of therapy.

Her experience also covers specialized topics including blended family issues, codependency, communication problems, and coping after disasters. Based in Utah, Cherry offers sessions in English and provides multiple online formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences.

Her work tends to integrate practical strategies and reflective exploration so clients can develop coping tools and move toward meaningful change.

Approaches that translate to online care

Cherry commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside Client-Centered methods. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or stress. DBT emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for mood instability, anger, or relationship challenges. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship that helps people explore goals and values while feeling heard.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cherry works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors techniques so therapy feels practical and personally relevant. She adjusts pacing and methods over time to find what supports progress and comfort.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and allow consistent access when in-person care isn’t convenient, while still letting licensed professionals provide structured, goal-focused support.
