About Cherry
Cherry Weaver is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 22 years of clinical experience. She practices in Utah and works with adults facing depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship strain, and other concerns people bring from their family background. Cherry also lists family of origin issues among her focus areas.
She has worked in inpatient substance abuse and psychiatric hospitalization, partial and intensive outpatient programs, and private practice settings. That mix of settings shaped how she approaches safety and practical supports during hard moments. She also has experience with domestic violence, first responder issues, and grief.
In session she emphasizes a straightforward, client-centered stance. Clients set the pace and topics while she offers techniques that match the problem at hand. Expect clear, actionable steps alongside reflective dialogue rather than abstract theory.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thinking patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation, and Motivational Interviewing to support change when substance use or ambivalence are present. She also uses Imago Relationship Therapy ideas when relationship dynamics are a focus.
For people tracing how family roles and expectations still affect their choices, Cherry helps name those patterns and practice different responses. She can help with communication problems, codependency, blended family stress, and the fallout from divorce or separation.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect practical problem-solving and skills practice. Before booking, confirm the current session formats offered and any location-based fee differences.
How Cherry integrates therapy approaches for online work
Cherry uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and practice different ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and some relationship patterns because it breaks issues into clearer steps to change.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and practical communication tools. DBT techniques can be helpful when feelings feel intense or reactions keep repeating. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she draws on to support people who feel stuck or unsure about changing substance use or other habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cherry collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts those methods as progress is made. That collaborative process helps match concrete skills to the problems someone wants to change.
