About Cherry
Cherry Weaver is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 22 years of experience. She practices in Utah and brings a steady, practical style to sessions. She focuses on parenting concerns along with mood, relationship, and substance use challenges.
She has worked in a variety of treatment settings, from inpatient substance abuse and psychiatric hospitalization to partial and intensive outpatient programs and independent practice.
Background and approach
That breadth helps her match approaches to each client's situation. She uses familiar, straightforward methods so conversations stay focused and useful. In sessions she listens first and follows the client's lead about what matters most.
She draws on client-centered principles so people feel heard and understood. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns of thinking that get in the way. For people dealing with intense emotions, she incorporates dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach grounding, emotion regulation, and better interpersonal responses.
Motivational interviewing is part of her work when the goal is change around substance use or other habits. Her aim is to help parents and individuals build coping tools, communicate more clearly, and manage stress. Practical steps and homework are used when helpful, and sessions are shaped by each person's pace and goals.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Client-centered work puts the client's priorities first and creates room for parents and individuals to set the pace and focus. This approach helps clarify what matters most and guides session goals in a collaborative way.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing the daily stresses of parenting by turning insights into practical steps.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication. These skills are often taught in brief exercises and homework that adapt well to remote sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to goals and try different methods to see what fits best. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to keep using based on progress and preference.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls approximate an in-person session for interactive work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges during a break at work. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent without rearranging large parts of daily life.
