About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Cherry is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 19 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. She approaches each client with warmth and respect, avoiding stigmatizing labels while focusing on practical strategies and personal strengths.

Background and approach

Her work spans a wide range of concerns including parenting challenges, ADHD, relationship and family issues, anger, low self-esteem, and mood-related conditions such as postpartum depression and seasonal affective disorder. Her style blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness, along with solution-focused methods to help clients identify concrete next steps.

Sessions are tailored to individual needs, with an emphasis on collaboration and developing coping skills for both everyday stressors and significant life changes. Elizabeth has additional attention to caregiver stress, communication breakdowns, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and recovery after natural or human-caused disasters.

She practices in Florida and conducts therapy in English. Prospective clients are invited to begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling based on her availability.

Online Approaches That Emphasize Skills and Collaboration

Elizabeth uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. This approach focuses on small, measurable changes in thought and behavior that can improve mood and daily functioning.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which prioritizes empathetic listening and support so clients can explore their values and goals at their own pace. That approach is useful for people seeking nonjudgmental space to process grief, relationship issues, or feelings of isolation. Mindfulness techniques are incorporated to teach present-moment awareness and stress reduction skills that complement cognitive work.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Elizabeth will work with clients to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from wherever the client is located in Florida.
