About Cheri
Cheri Epps is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of counseling experience. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and practices in Texas. Cheri works with adults facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and low self-esteem, and she lists life purpose as a focus area.
Cheri listens for what feels most urgent and practical. She helps people name problems and try small, doable steps to change day-to-day habits. Sessions tend to focus on coping skills, clearer communication, and making choices that reflect what matters to the client.
Her work also addresses relationship patterns and attachment concerns, including abandonment, codependency, and communication problems. She supports people dealing with blended family stress, divorce and separation, and caregiving strain.
Cheri has experience supporting people with co-occurring issues such as substance use alongside trauma or mood concerns. She pays attention to behavior patterns like avoidance, control issues, and dependent or antisocial personality features when these come up in session.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about what is happening now, practical tools to try between sessions, and regular review of what is and isn’t working. Cheri encourages clear goals and practical problem solving to help people move from feeling stuck toward having more direction and purpose in daily life.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and behavior change. For example, approaches that teach coping skills and relapse prevention help people address addictions by identifying triggers, planning alternatives, and practicing new responses. Techniques that target trauma symptoms provide ways to reduce overwhelm and build tolerance for difficult memories or reactions. Other methods emphasize problem-solving and clearer communication to address grief, anger, and relationship patterns. These approaches break larger problems into concrete steps and teach communication tools that can reduce repeated conflict or isolation. The therapist will explain different methods and what each aims to do in plain terms. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheri will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That often means trying a few strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together. Confirm the current online session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about session length and any format details during the initial scheduling step to match practical needs with therapeutic goals.Areas of expertise
