About Cherie

Cherie Felzer is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who helps parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are, offering steady presence and practical guidance for everyday challenges. Cherie draws on over a decade of clinical practice and many more years of movement and somatic work.

Sessions aim to connect what happens in the body with thoughts and feelings.

Background and approach

That makes it easier to notice patterns, calm overwhelm, and take small steps forward. Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and mindfulness techniques. Cherie encourages slowing down, noticing sensations, and using simple practices to shift stuckness.

She also brings somatic awareness when emotions feel trapped in the body. Clients often explore relationships, parenting concerns, self-esteem, life purpose, and coping with illness or end-of-life stress. Cherie uses clear, concrete tools so parents can try things between sessions and see what helps at home.

She practices in Hawaii and has worked with people facing isolation, addiction recovery, compassion fatigue, and career changes. The work is collaborative: Cherie helps clients map goals and choose steps that fit their life and values. Her style is calm, grounded, and direct.

Sessions focus on small, doable changes that build safety, connection, and more ease in daily life.

Online support

How attachment, mindfulness, and somatic work translate online

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape safety and trust. Online sessions can look at patterns in relationships and practice new ways of connecting and communicating during conversations and role plays.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. That can help with anxiety, stress, and parenting moments where staying calm matters most.

Somatic therapy brings attention to bodily sensations and movement. Even through video or phone, a therapist can guide gentle exercises, breath work, and grounding techniques to release tension and change how emotions are carried in the body.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. Over time, the plan evolves to match needs and preferences.

Online formats offer flexible ways to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided movement. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to stay connected between appointments and share quick updates or tools learned in session.
