Cherie Barton

Cherie Barton is an LPC with 11 years of experience helping people through hard seasons. She works with individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, and major life changes. Cherie aims to make therapy straightforward and useful from the first session.

Her style centers on collaboration and clear goals. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical coping strategies that fit day-to-day life. Sessions emphasize what helps now while building steps for longer term change.

She has particular experience with social anxiety, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and grief related to divorce and separation. Cherie also supports people managing chronic pain or illness, those trying to stop smoking or vaping, and veterans with service-related concerns.

Many clients come for help with mood disorders, impulsivity, or personality-related challenges. Cherie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts the work to each person’s needs and values. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She offers a respectful space where people can be heard and start to rebuild routines that feel manageable. Therapy is described in plain terms and focused on real-life change. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled based on therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online work and progress

Cherie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches tools for managing anxiety and panic, such as grounding and breathing strategies and stepwise exposure to feared situations. This helps people reduce intense symptoms and build confidence over time.

Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed care that helps people process past hurt and reduce its hold on current life. This work often combines safety planning, grounding skills, and paced processing so people regain a sense of control and move toward daily routines that feel sustainable.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapy process. The therapist works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That collaboration continues as progress is tracked and plans are adjusted.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Some formats also work better when camera use or bandwidth is a concern, so discussing practical needs helps match the best option.
