About Cherish
Cherish Krisciunas is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 12 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and major life changes. She lists stress, depression, trauma and abuse, and caregiving concerns among her common focus areas. Cherish works with adults who are managing practical and emotional pressures in everyday life.
She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and concrete skills people can use between meetings. Cherish also draws on attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches when relationships and patterns from the past are part of the problem.
In practice she centers straightforward conversation about what is happening now and what a person wants to change. That can mean working on communication, coping skills for anxiety, grieving a loss, or adjusting to a life transition like divorce or caregiving responsibilities. Sessions often mix problem-solving with reflection about past patterns that affect present choices.
Her background includes supporting people through intimacy-related issues, shame and guilt, infidelity, and isolation. She also notes work with topics such as BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture and hospice and end-of-life counseling. Those topics are handled with practical attention to boundaries, consent, and local supports.
Cherish describes therapy as collaborative. She helps people set realistic steps and develop tools they can use outside sessions. For anyone considering therapy she asks clients to be clear about their goals so the work can stay focused and useful.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes by teaching practical ways to stay engaged in important areas despite discomfort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers concrete strategies to shift unhelpful habits. It is often chosen for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can help when intimacy, trust, or repeated conflicts are present.Finding the right approach is something Cherish treats as a collaborative process. She works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, preferences, and situation, and adjusts the mix of techniques as progress is made. The choice of tools comes from discussion and small experiments rather than fixed assumptions.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Whether someone wants focused skill practice, weekly therapy, or goal-oriented coaching, these practical benefits can help therapy fit into everyday life without promising a particular service.
