About Cherry

Cherry Weaver is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 22 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She trained at Amberton University where she earned a master’s degree in Counseling and has provided care across inpatient substance abuse and psychiatric hospitalization settings, partial and intensive outpatient programs, and independent practice. Her background includes work with mood disorders, substance use, trauma, relationship concerns, and domestic violence, which has shaped a practical, flexible approach to therapy.

She centers her work on the person in front of her, collaborating with clients to set the agenda and pace for treatment. Cherry draws on a range of evidence-informed methods including Internal Family Systems, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and related modalities to match intervention to need.

Areas of focus include addictions, anxiety and depression, grief and coping with life changes, intimacy and relationship challenges, ADHD, parenting and blended-family dynamics, and issues such as codependency, communication problems, and forgiveness. Based in Utah, she offers services in English and adapts methods to suit each client’s goals and circumstances.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care

Cherry uses Internal Family Systems to explore internal parts and their relationships, helping people uncover and heal emotions tied to trauma, shame, and patterns that affect relationships. Client-Centered Therapy is offered as well, emphasizing empathy and collaboration so clients set the pace and focus while the therapist reflects and supports their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also used to identify and shift thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and problematic coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; Cherry works with each person to decide which combination of approaches fits best based on their concerns, goals, and preferences. Early sessions typically include planning and experimenting with methods so the work matches real-life needs and produces practical skills to use between sessions.

Online therapy provides flexibility by enabling video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to attend regularly around work and family commitments. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support, adjust the pace of communication, and use tools like in-session skill coaching or message-based check-ins to reinforce progress between appointments.
