About Cherish
Cherish Krisciunas is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, grief, relationship strain, anger, and major life changes. She works with adults on stress, self-esteem, career concerns, and the ripple effects of trauma and loss. Sessions are presented in a straightforward, practical way focused on clear goals and usable skills.
Her style is client-centered and collaborative. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and experiment with different responses. Attachment-focused work and emotionally-focused ideas are used when relationship patterns and intimacy concerns are central.
Cherish uses brief exercises, in-session conversation, and applied practice to build new habits. People learn ways to handle intense feelings, reduce reactive behaviors, and communicate more effectively. She often frames work around specific situations such as conflicts with a partner, stress at work, or recurring memories from past hurt.
Her background includes supporting people through caregiving strain, end-of-life concerns, abandonment and attachment wounds, and relationship ruptures like infidelity or separation. She also addresses issues connected to kink and alternative sexual cultures in a nonjudgmental clinical context.
Sessions aim to mix insight with practical tools clients can use between meetings. The focus is on steady progress through small, intentional steps that connect to a person’s values and daily life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice tough thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for ongoing anger, anxiety, and making different choices when old reactions show up.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and then practicing alternatives. It is often used for stress, impulsivity, workplace frustration, and low mood.
Attachment-Based and emotionally-focused ideas look at how repeated patterns in close relationships affect conflicts and intimacy. This work helps people name relational triggers and try new ways of relating that reduce escalation.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to the client’s goals, preferences, and everyday constraints. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what helps most in real life.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions fit around work or caregiving. Practical benefits include quick follow-ups, consistent scheduling, and being able to practice skills between sessions without rearranging an entire day.
