About Cheri

Cheri Goodwin is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, intimacy-related concerns, and problems with eating, sleeping, and parenting.

She uses everyday language in sessions and focuses on helping people notice what is getting in the way. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to increase awareness of feelings and bodily experience. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy methods help people clarify values and take small, practical steps toward them.

Cheri also uses Motivational Interviewing to support change when people feel stuck. Narrative Therapy is part of her approach for people who want to rewrite the story they tell about themselves. Sessions aim to uncover the issues beneath surface symptoms so problems can be addressed directly.

Her practice includes work on related themes such as abandonment, codependency, communication and control issues, blended family challenges, divorce and separation, and substance use concerns. She can help when grief, trauma, or past choices continue to shape daily life.

People who choose her often want clear, practical steps and a straightforward way to try different approaches. To start, the usual process is to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session so goals can be set and an approach agreed on.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It supports people dealing with guilt, shame, or avoidance by focusing on meaningful steps rather than perfect outcomes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and habits related to eating or substance use. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to present-moment experience and bodily signals, helping people observe shame or self-criticism without immediately reacting.

Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. Cheri works with each person to decide which approaches fit their situation and goals. She checks in and adjusts methods as needed so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as this profile does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use online sessions to keep continuity of care and to practice real-world skills between meetings.
