About Brad
Brad Cherry is an LPCC and LPC with 15 years of professional experience licensed in New Mexico and Pennsylvania and practicing in Texas. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. He also addresses relationship and parenting concerns and areas such as fatherhood issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and money or career stress.
Brad focuses on clear, practical conversation. He listens for what matters in daily life and then helps people try small changes that can shift how they cope. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with attention to immediate problems and longer term patterns.
He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients understand thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep them stuck. That includes looking at how guilt or shame shows up and what keeps those feelings active. He helps people name those feelings and test different ways of responding to them.
Brad also works with overlapping issues such as anxiety and impulsivity, or grief connected to separation and divorce. He gives space to practical problem solving - for example communication skills, managing money-related stress, or approaches to parenting strain.
People who come to him often want straightforward, realistic steps and clear ways to track progress. He asks questions, suggests small experiments between sessions, and revisits plans as needed. To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
Evidence-based approaches and online work
Brad uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and practical skills. Cognitive-based work involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, testing those thoughts, and building alternative ways of interpreting situations; this is useful for anxiety, guilt, and low self-esteem. Behavioral techniques emphasize small, repeated actions - for example activity planning or communication practice - that change day-to-day routines and reduce avoidance.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He collaborates with clients to choose what feels useful based on their goals and preferences, then adjusts methods if something is not helping. Sessions are meant to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with short experiments to try between meetings.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography did not list them. Many people appreciate online therapy because it can make it easier to keep regular check-ins, handle brief follow-ups between appointments, or choose a session style that fits work and family demands.
