About Cheri

Cheri Epps is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of counseling experience who focuses on men's wellbeing among other concerns. She helps people dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. Her work aims to help clients feel seen and heard so they can begin making practical changes in their daily lives.

Cheri builds a supportive space where clients can talk through hard things without judgment. She listens for strengths and helps people name small steps that lead to clearer direction. Sessions are focused on finding workable solutions and building coping skills that fit each person’s life.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. She helps clients develop coping strategies, improve communication, and work through attachment or abandonment concerns when these show up. Cheri also addresses issues such as body image, codependency, caregiver stress, and difficulties that come with divorce or separation.

Across her practice she supports people facing complex patterns like avoidant or dependent tendencies and challenges related to aging, blended family dynamics, or co-morbidity of mental health and substance use. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with attention to both immediate problems and underlying patterns.

Cheri works from Texas and holds TX LCSW and MA LICSW credentials. She speaks English. To begin, readers should use the site's Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online work

Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on clear goals and practical steps. For example, brief solution-focused work concentrates on small, achievable changes and checking what works in daily life. This approach can help with problems like low motivation, anger, or substance use by emphasizing doable actions and measurable progress.

Another common approach is trauma-informed care, which emphasizes safety, pacing, and understanding how past events affect current behavior. This style helps people manage intense feelings, reduce reactivity, and build healthier coping habits over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also offers a way to keep continuity of care if relocating within the same state.
