About Cherry
Cherry Weaver is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing with 22 years of experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma and relationship challenges. Cherry also helps with parenting stress, intimacy concerns, grief, and blended family issues.
She has experience across inpatient substance abuse and psychiatric hospitalization, partial and intensive outpatient programs, and private practice. That background informs a practical approach to care. Sessions focus on clear goals and real-world changes rather than long theory discussions.
Cherry uses methods that fit the person and the problem. She draws on Client-Centered techniques to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking and behavior patterns, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation. She also uses Imago relationship ideas, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing when they serve the work.
In sessions she tends to set straightforward targets like managing cravings, reducing panic, improving communication, or coping with a major life change. She will discuss which approach to use and adjust it as progress is made. The focus is on practical strategies people can use between appointments.
People in blended households often need help with step-parenting roles, co-parenting tensions, loyalty conflicts, and merging routines. Cherry offers focused conversation and skills coaching to address those concrete problems. Language of work is English and practice is based in Utah.
How Cherry’s approaches translate to online work
Cherry commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client sets the pace and goals; it helps when someone needs to sort priorities or make decisions. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills for reducing anxiety, depression, or unhelpful patterns. DBT provides practical tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and stress.Choosing the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that seem most relevant, and adjust them over time. That shared decision-making keeps sessions matched to what a person actually needs and wants to work on.
The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy household schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills between appointments in the settings where they live. Licensed professionals can discuss which session length and style will best fit daily routines and the particular blended family issues being addressed.
