Getting to know Cheri Abbott
Hi there, I'm Cheri!
My name is Cheri Abbott, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in the Central Valley, working with California clients statewide via Telehealth. I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, stress, self-esteem, job and life transitions, and peer and family relationship issues. I use Client-Centered Therapy and Strength-Based Therapy to help clients increase trust within themselves and make sustainable changes.
My approach to therapy focuses on building a strong, healthy therapeutic relationship to help you find your inner strength. I utilize a Client-Centered approach to partner with you, creating trust and safety so you feel seen and heard. I support your thoughts and feelings with understanding and genuineness, allowing you to express true emotions without fear of rejection. Together, we identify your strengths, values, and beliefs to increase self-awareness and reach realistic goals that improve overall well-being.
This approach is a good fit for adults struggling with anxiety, worry, work-related stress, peer or family relationship challenges, low self-esteem, imposter syndrome, or life transitions.
My communication style is observant, intuitive, compassionate, empathetic, and thoughtful. I use honest, safe, and nonjudgmental curiosity and feedback, providing validation and insight to help you achieve your goals. My hope is that you feel safe being vulnerable.
When setting goals, I partner with you to build a healthy therapeutic relationship and then establish what you need or want out of therapy. The goals are for YOU, and my role is to guide you toward them.
The first session is about getting to know you and gathering information to best support your healing process.
