Cherry Weaver, LPC, LCMHC

Cherry Weaver is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with more than 22 years of experience. She practices in Utah and draws on long experience working in inpatient substance abuse and psychiatric settings as well as outpatient programs and private practice. Cherry focuses on real problems people bring in day to day life and frames therapy around practical goals.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and shared decision making about what to work on. Cherry meets people where they are and helps them choose the steps that fit their situation. She combines listening with hands-on methods to address mood, addiction, relationships, and stress.

Her background includes work across intensive outpatient care and hospital-based programs, alongside private practice experience. That variety informs how she matches methods to each person rather than using one fixed approach. She has supported people dealing with grief, trauma, substance use, and relationship struggles.

Cherry draws from several approaches when planning sessions, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills-based strategies. She also uses mindfulness practices and elements of Imago Relationship Therapy when relationship work is part of treatment. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach with addiction and behavior change goals.

Sessions focus on concrete plans, coping tools, and clearer communication skills. People who want practical strategies for anxiety, depression, parenting stress, or substance use will find a collaborative style. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people can set their own goals. It helps when someone needs space to talk things through and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cherry will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with listening and goal-setting, then adding CBT tools or skills training depending on progress.

The biography doesn't list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into a busy day, cut down commute time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online meetings can also allow shorter check-ins when life is busy, or let someone choose audio-only or video conversations when that better suits their needs.
