Cheri Epps

Cheri Epps is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of counseling experience who helps people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. She creates a calm, accepting presence so people feel seen and heard before trying new ways forward. The first conversations focus on what matters most now and on small, practical steps that make a difference.

She aims to build a steady working relationship where clients can talk through hard moments and learn coping strategies. Sessions often emphasize identifying strengths, naming patterns that cause pain, and practicing skills for clearer thinking and calmer responses. Cheri uses straightforward, plain-language feedback and collaborative problem solving.

Clients work on concrete goals such as reducing substance use, managing anger, handling loss, or improving self-image. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment challenges, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and separation or divorce issues. Progress usually comes from repeated practice and small changes over time.

Cheri brings experience from many years in clinical settings across Texas. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials, which indicate social work licensure in different states. She works in English and does not accept international clients at this time.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Evidence-based techniques focus on practical change and clear skills. One common approach emphasizes learning coping strategies and behavioral steps to reduce harmful habits and manage cravings; this helps people working on addictions and impulse-related concerns. Another approach targets emotional processing for trauma, grief, and anger by helping clients name emotions, understand triggers, and practice new responses to upsetting memories or situations.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, try techniques that fit the client's situation, and adjust plans based on what helps. That process is gradual and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or between errands. It can also let someone pick shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid video if bandwidth is limited. Talk with the therapist during the matching step to learn which formats she offers and which approach is likely to match your needs.
