About Cheri

Cheri Goodwin is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and eating and food-related issues. She speaks plain, practical language and aims to make reaching out feel manageable. Many people come to her when life feels overwhelming or when past hurt keeps coming back.

Cheri brings 20 years of clinical experience to her work. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness therapy, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. Sessions focus on noticing patterns, trying small changes, and building day-to-day skills that make life easier.

Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person. Cheri helps clients name what matters to them and then works toward realistic steps to get there. She balances practical exercises with space to tell the story behind the struggle.

People often seek her support for trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting strains, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment. She also addresses co-occurring issues such as substance use and communication challenges that get in the way of recovery.

In sessions, Cheri aims to help clients feel more confident and capable in daily life. She encourages small, measurable changes and checks in on what is and isn't working. Readers should confirm current session options before booking and can use the Start Therapy flow to begin.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Cheri commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to lessen reactivity and improve sleep and stress management.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and commit to actions that matter. ACT can be useful when someone wants to move forward despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cheri treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, cutting out travel and allowing appointments during work breaks or between errands. Because the original profile does not list specific session formats, readers should confirm current session options before booking. The focus is on practical benefits: more flexible scheduling, shorter check-ins when needed, and the ability to continue work without rearranging a full day.
