About Cherry
Cherry Weaver is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 22 years of experience. She practices from Utah and brings long-term clinical work to people coping with depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, relationship strain, and life changes. Cherry emphasizes practical steps and clear goals in sessions.
Cherry trained at Amberton University, where she earned a master’s degree in counseling. Her background includes inpatient substance abuse and psychiatric hospitalization, partial and intensive outpatient programs, and private practice work in Texas. That variety informs how she shapes treatment for each person.
Her approach centers on meeting people where they are and following the goals they set. She uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to each person. Then she pairs that with methods chosen to fit the problem and the person’s preferences.
Common tools she draws on include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior skills to manage intense emotions. Motivational interviewing is used to support change around substance use and other habits. Mindfulness practices are offered to help reduce stress and ground attention.
Cherry also has experience helping people navigate issues such as blended family dynamics, communication problems, grief, first responder stress, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She includes coaching-style work when clients want concrete plans and accountability.
People who prefer clear direction, practical skill-building, and a collaborative tone tend to find her style helpful. She conducts therapy in English and works from her Utah practice.
Approaches that guide online work and skill building
Cherry often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change thinking and behavior patterns that fuel depression, anxiety, and stress. CBT breaks problems into smaller steps and teaches practical exercises to try between sessions.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT tools can be helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships are strained. Client-centered methods are woven in to keep sessions focused on each person’s goals and experience.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cherry collaborates with clients to choose or blend methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She listens to what helps and adapts techniques over time so the plan stays useful.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. It can also let people use audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited or choose video when visual interaction is helpful. Licensed professionals can discuss which option will best match a client’s schedule and rhythms.
