About Cherri
Cherri McCord is a Licensed Professional Counselor, holding LPC and LPC-MHSP credentials and practicing in Tennessee. She has 14 years of experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and life transitions. She speaks English and works with adults on practical problems like work stress, relationship strain, and parenting concerns.
She uses a straightforward, client-centered way of working. Sessions focus on what feels most urgent to the person in front of her. Conversations tend to be goal-oriented and skills-based, with attention to thoughts, behaviors, and what gets in the way of desired changes.
Cherri integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to manage strong emotions and Mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness. Motivational Interviewing appears when people are making difficult changes and need help finding their own reasons to act.
Her background includes work with depression, anxiety, and substance use concerns, and she lists a broad range of related focuses such as caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, communication problems, and midlife transitions. The approach is practical: identify patterns, learn skills, and build clearer choices.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How Cherri uses evidence-based approaches online
Cherri commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills in sessions. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test alternative ways of thinking and acting, which is useful for anger tied to rumination or workplace stress. DBT offers concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills to reduce impulsive reactions and to manage intense feelings.She also brings in Mindfulness practices to help people notice bodily cues and gradual changes in emotional states. These approaches are practical and skill-focused, so they translate well to remote conversations. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process - she will work with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and what feels doable week to week.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss format and timing during the matching questionnaire and when scheduling the first session to make sure it fits daily routines.
