About Cherish Brooks
Cherish Brooks, LPA-IP (licensed psychological associate with independent practice), structures therapy around forward movement and personalized growth. She focuses her practice on female clients, building treatment plans that emphasize areas of development while honoring each person’s unique needs, goals, and symptoms. Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with solution-focused techniques and creative arts interventions to support practical change and emotional exploration.
Sessions are oriented toward the future, but she also explores how past experiences shaped habitual patterns, coping strategies, and relational responses. By identifying those origins, she guides clients through a process of recognizing unhelpful habits and reshaping them into healthier patterns and coping skills. When specific issues arise, such as trauma or phobias, additional targeted treatments are incorporated into the individualized plan at the client’s request or based on presenting symptoms.
Throughout treatment she emphasizes a growth-focused outlook, balancing present stability with the development of tools for a more resilient future. Every plan is tailored to the individual, with an eye toward measurable progress and practical skills that support day-to-day life and long-term well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action toward a meaningful life. It emphasizes mindfulness and acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while encouraging practical steps that align with what matters most to the client, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy centers the therapeutic relationship and the client's own insights. The therapist provides empathic support and reflects the client's experience, fostering self-direction and emotional processing for issues like self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and coping with change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It offers concrete tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills for restructuring thoughts and experimenting with new behaviors.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cherish Brooks works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals tailor techniques to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, fit sessions into busy lives, and choose the format that best supports each client's comfort and needs.
