Cheri Pfeiffer , LCSW

Cheri Pfeiffer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 16 years of professional experience supporting adults through a range of life challenges. Her practice frequently addresses stress and anxiety, along with grief, loss, and depression. She works with people managing major life changes, including medical diagnoses and terminal illness, and brings focused experience in supporting LGBT adults and the broader LGBTQ community.

Cheri emphasizes a collaborative approach to therapy, viewing each person as the expert on their own life while offering professional guidance and practical strategies. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly and where coping skills can be developed and strengthened.

Throughout her career she has supported clients facing relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, and concerns around intimacy and self-esteem. She also addresses aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, cancer and hospice-related concerns, isolation and loneliness, and other mood-related conditions. Cheri invites those ready to take a first step to consider counseling as a partnership in moving toward their goals.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Access

Cheri Pfeiffer employs evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying helpful skills and strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. These approaches involve structured methods that have been studied in research and are adapted to address stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. Coaching is also integrated into her practice to help clients set practical goals, build routines, and develop skills for managing challenges between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cheri works collaboratively with each person to explore which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. This partnership supports a tailored path forward rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy with licensed professionals and therapists offers flexibility and accessibility for many people. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to receive care from home, while traveling, or around other commitments. This variety of formats helps match therapeutic work to each person’s lifestyle and comfort level.
