About Cherice
Cherice Peagler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 20 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use right away to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning.
She helps people develop clearer communication skills and stronger self-regard. Cherice offers straightforward strategies for managing anger before it escalates. She also supports clients facing social anxiety, phobias, and questions about life purpose.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. In sessions she listens, asks clarifying questions, and helps build concrete coping skills. Expect a mix of talking through situations, practicing new responses, and setting realistic small goals.
With two decades of practice, Cherice draws on evidence-based techniques to guide work on relationships, emotion regulation, and personal growth. She emphasizes skill-building so people leave with tools they can use between sessions. Progress is approached step by step, with attention to what works in a person's everyday life.
Clients who want to address anger-related patterns, reduce stress, and improve communication will find a pragmatic focus in her work. She encourages curiosity about behavior and supports clients in testing new ways of responding to difficult feelings and interactions.
How sessions work
How therapeutic methods are used online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques usually involve teaching specific skills and trying them in everyday life. One common approach focuses on emotion regulation skills - learning to notice the early signs of anger, slowing down impulses, and using concrete strategies to respond differently. This helps with sudden irritability, workplace frustration, and built-up resentment.Another approach emphasizes communication skills training. It teaches ways to express needs, set boundaries, and handle heated conversations without escalating. Practicing short exercises in session can make real conversations feel less overwhelming.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That means testing methods, adjusting plans, and choosing practical tools that the client can use between sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break or a quieter evening, and phone or shorter check-ins can work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Ask about the available formats when you schedule to make sure they match your daily routine.
