Cheri Hendrickson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, low self esteem, depression, bipolar disorder, and major life changes. Cheri works with adults, using a straightforward, compassionate style to help clients find clearer footing when things feel overwhelming.
She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions. Cheri has worked with people who have neurodevelopmental differences such as autism spectrum conditions and with those managing addiction and mood disorders. She helps clients reduce isolation, face guilt or shame, and reconnect with a sense of purpose.
Cheri uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person's needs. In practice that means helping clients build practical coping skills, practice new ways of thinking about themselves, and plan small, manageable steps forward. Sessions aim to be a mix of listening and active problem solving.
Her approach is collaborative. Cheri invites clients to set goals together and to try approaches that fit their daily life. She explains ideas plainly and checks in often to see what is helpful.
People who choose Cheri can expect a calm, steady presence and clear, skills-focused work on issues like mood, self esteem, and life transitions. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s process to match and schedule a first appointment.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and tested ways of working with mood, anxiety, and self esteem. One common approach teaches concrete coping skills for managing stress and strong emotions, such as breathing, behavioral experiments, and stepwise activity planning to improve daily mood. Another approach helps people notice and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, replacing harsh self-judgment with kinder, more balanced self-talk that supports steady progress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Cheri collaborates with each person to choose strategies that match their goals, strengths, and day-to-day life. She reviews what’s working and adjusts the plan together so clients can try practical tools and see which ones fit.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try therapy from familiar routines and use tools like worksheets and in-session coaching to practice new skills between meetings.
