About Cheri
Cheri Pfeiffer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 16 years of professional experience based in Delaware. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and anger. Her practice also addresses coping with life changes and medical or terminal diagnoses, and she has experience supporting LGBT adults.
Cheri focuses on practical conversation and steady support during sessions. She approaches therapy as a partnership and treats the person in the chair as the expert on their life. Sessions are straightforward and aim to help people talk through what’s getting in the way of daily functioning and relationships.
Her background includes work with people facing serious medical issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, caregiver stress, and cancer-related challenges. She also supports those coping with isolation, mood disorders, and the complex overlap of multiple health or life stressors. These experiences inform how she helps clients set realistic goals and handle crises when they arise.
In addition to medical and end-of-life work, Cheri has supported people dealing with addictions, intimacy issues, self-esteem, and relationship problems. She helps clients clarify their priorities and develop plans to manage anger and reduce reactive patterns. Practical coping skills and clearer communication are common goals in her work.
People coming to Cheri can expect direct, adult-focused conversation about current problems and next steps. She encourages honest talk about feelings and behavior, then helps people test new ways of responding in daily life.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques typically include problem-focused skill work that teaches concrete ways to notice triggers and change responses. For example, skills-based approaches help people recognize patterns of thought and behavior that lead to anger and then practice alternatives that reduce reactivity.Another common technique emphasizes grief and loss processing. This approach helps people name difficult feelings, make meaning of change, and find ways to carry on daily responsibilities while managing strong emotions. It can be helpful when anger is tied to loss or major life events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then choose steps together. That makes the plan practical and tied to each person’s real-life needs.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work with a licensed professional when life changes make in-person visits harder.
