About Cheri
Cheri Doval is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience helping people through hard times. She focuses on building a solid relationship first so clients feel heard. Cheri uses practical methods that match each person's needs and situation.
Cheri listens closely and asks straightforward questions to help people name what is most painful. She draws on therapies like cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, and client-centered care to reduce symptoms and improve coping.
Background and approach
For trauma-related concerns she also uses EMDR when appropriate. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Cheri balances gentle support with clear, actionable steps that people can try between meetings.
She helps clients spot unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new skills for stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, anger, depression, and compassion fatigue. She also works with topics such as adoption and foster care, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and veteran and armed forces issues.
People who do best with Cheri tend to want both empathy and direction. She partners with clients to set goals, adjust the plan as needed, and track progress in ways that fit everyday life. Cheri works from Florida and offers services in English, including international clients via online formats.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It uses practical exercises and mindfulness skills to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks patterns into manageable steps. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by pairing guided processing with bilateral stimulation when clinically appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheri collaborates with each person to choose and adapt methods based on their goals, needs, and comfort. She regularly checks in and adjusts the plan if something is not working or if priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow visual connection and a full session experience. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for easier check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit brief updates, quick coaching, or times when a written check-in feels easier. These options help fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on progress and practical skills.
