About Cheri
Cheri Epps is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, holding LCSW and LICSW credentials, with 14 years of counseling experience in Texas. She works with adults who are dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people manage strong emotions and difficult life moments.
Cheri focuses on helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She talks through concrete coping strategies and problem-solving steps. Sessions look at how past experiences affect today's reactions and explore ways to respond differently to stress and conflict.
She pays attention to relationship issues that show up in anger and communication problems. Common topics include abandonment worries, codependency, commitment concerns, blended family tensions, and divorce or separation. She also addresses caregiver stress, body image, and other co-occurring problems that complicate recovery.
Her work aims to build clarity and confidence through steady, actionable steps. That can mean learning to name feelings, slowing responses that escalate conflict, or practicing new ways to voice needs. Cheri encourages people to try tools between sessions and to notice small changes over time.
People who choose her often want practical relief rather than abstract theory. She guides goal setting and tracks progress so each session moves toward clear outcomes. To begin, she asks a few questions about current struggles and what the person hopes to change.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques aim to change unhelpful patterns and teach skills you can use day to day. One common approach focuses on recognizing triggers and building step-by-step coping actions. It helps with sudden anger spikes, workplace frustration, and repeated arguments with others. Another useful approach targets emotional regulation and communication skills. That work teaches simple breathing and grounding practices, and ways to express needs without escalating conflict. It can be helpful for people managing grief, trauma reactions, or substance-related urges tied to strong emotions. Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Cheri works collaboratively to figure out which techniques match each person's goals and preferences. She and the client set small goals and review what works, adjusting methods when needed. Confirm the available session formats before you book, since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during breaks, or remove the need to travel. Licensed professionals often use those practical benefits to help therapy fit more naturally into everyday life.Areas of focus
