Getting to know Cherie Souza

Hi there, I'm Cherie! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker born and raised in Hawaii. I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, and life transitions. My approach is supportive and practical, integrating CBT-informed and strengths-based strategies to help clients build coping skills and create meaningful change. My focus I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, and life transitions. Many of my clients are balancing work, family responsibilities, and personal pressures, and want practical tools to manage stress, improve emotional well-being, and feel more grounded in their daily lives. My approach My approach is collaborative, supportive, and practical. I integrate CBT-informed and strengths-based strategies to help clients understand patterns in their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we focus on building coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and creating realistic steps toward change. My communication style My style is warm, direct, and supportive. I aim to create a calm, respectful space where clients feel comfortable being honest about what they’re experiencing. Sessions include thoughtful conversation, reflection, and practical strategies clients can apply in everyday life. My journey to mental healthcare Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years working in Hawaii’s court system supporting children and families. That experience deepened my understanding of how stress, family systems, and life transitions affect mental health and led me to pursue clinical work. My goals for you I work with clients to identify clear, realistic goals based on what they want to improve in their lives. Together we break goals into manageable steps and focus on building practical skills that support lasting progress both in and outside of therapy. Our first session The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other.
