Cheri Goodwin, LPC

Motivational interviewing and narrative practices are part of her toolbox when someone needs to change behavior or reframe a difficult story. Sessions move at a steady pace. Cheri listens for what matters most and then suggests exercises to try between meetings.

Those may include short mindfulness practices, behavioral experiments, or steps to reduce cravings and manage urges for people working on addictions. She also helps people handle relationship and intimacy concerns by teaching clearer communication and setting concrete goals. For those coping with trauma, grief, or overwhelming emotions she works to identify triggers and small, manageable ways to feel more grounded.

Cheri describes therapy as a collaborative process. She encourages clients to pick techniques that fit their lives and to try practical tasks between sessions. The focus is on building skills that make daily life easier and more predictable.

Clients can expect a straightforward style, clear suggestions, and a focus on measurable change. Cheri’s background and methods are aimed at helping people regain a sense of control and move toward their own priorities.
