Cheri Pfeiffer , LCSW

Cheri Pfeiffer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 16 years of experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. As a clinical social worker she brings practical, evidence-informed strategies to support people coping with major life changes, including medical diagnoses and terminal illness, while also addressing relationship, family, and intimacy-related concerns.

She has worked with LGBT adults across her career and offers identity-affirming support for members of the LGBTQ community. Her practice includes helping clients manage addictions, trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, isolation and loneliness, and challenges related to aging, cancer, or hospice and end-of-life issues. Cheri also addresses mood disorders, self-esteem, anger, and concerns tied to self-love and women’s issues.

As an LCSW Cheri holds a clinical social work license that authorizes independent practice and therapeutic intervention. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, building trusting relationships in which thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment. Cheri recognizes that beginning counseling takes courage and invites adults seeking compassionate, experienced guidance to consider working with her as they move toward clearer coping and meaningful change.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Cheri Pfeiffer offers practical, evidence-based work aimed at improving day-to-day coping and emotional regulation. She uses coping skills and stress-management techniques that teach concrete tools for reducing anxiety, improving routines, and managing reactions to change; these strategies are helpful for people facing ongoing stress, work pressure, or life transitions.

She also provides grief-focused supportive counseling that helps people process loss and adapt to new realities after bereavement or health changes. This approach combines empathetic listening with structured strategies to honor loss while rebuilding meaningful routines and connections. Additionally, Cheri offers identity-affirming support for LGBT adults, emphasizing respect for identity, relationship dynamics, and the particular stresses that can affect sexual and gender minority individuals.

Finding the right method is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they tailor the pace and focus of work to fit the client’s priorities.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it possible to access consistent care from licensed professionals without travel. This flexibility can make scheduling easier, allow follow-up between sessions, and expand access for people living outside traditional clinic areas or juggling complex responsibilities.
