About Cheri
Cheri Doval is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Cheri also addresses addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, depression, and compassion fatigue. She lists additional areas such as adoption and foster care, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and women’s issues.
She begins by building a strong working relationship with each person. Cheri listens carefully and uses that understanding to choose practical ways to move forward. Sessions often involve talking through patterns, trying small behavior changes, and practicing mindfulness skills between meetings.
Cheri draws from several evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral methods, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, EMDR for trauma, and mindfulness practices. She explains options plainly and adapts work to the concern at hand. The focus is on concrete, usable steps rather than abstract theory.
People who prefer direct, experienced guidance may find her style fits well. Cheri combines clinical experience with lessons learned from life and long-term practice. This means she tends to emphasize clarity, steady pacing, and workable strategies for day-to-day problems.
Sessions are meant to address practical problems like coping with loss, reducing anxiety, managing anger, or recovering from past trauma. Prospective clients should check session formats and scheduling details before booking to confirm what is currently offered.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose values-based actions. It is useful for anxiety, life changes, and problems where avoidance is part of the difficulty. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and anger by teaching concrete skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with memories and bodily responses to reduce the intensity of past trauma reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and will suggest methods that fit the concern. This is a collaborative process and can shift as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use video or audio in ways that suit their schedule and comfort. The therapist will help coordinate a plan that fits the client’s daily routines and practical needs.
