About Cherie
Cherie Felzer is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, life changes, grief, and relationship concerns. She often brings a somatic lens to work with clients, inviting attention to body sensations alongside thoughts and feelings. Cherie speaks plainly and offers steady presence for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
Cherie draws on over a decade of clinical practice and many years of movement-based personal work.
Background and approach
She combines body-centered approaches with attachment-aware conversation and client-centered listening. Sessions focus on practical ways to notice physical responses, name patterns, and try small changes that can shift how daily life feels. Her background includes graduate study in somatic counseling psychology and licensure as an LMFT.
Cherie has worked in varied settings and with diverse life experiences, which informs a flexible approach rather than a single method. She meets people where they are and shapes sessions around their goals. In meetings she offers calm presence and guided practices that may include mindful breath, gentle movement suggestions, and reflective conversation.
The aim is to help people reconnect with their body, clarify values, and move through stuckness toward greater ease and purpose. Cherie invites clients to approach therapy as a partnership. She supports exploration of identity, parenting stress, career shifts, addiction recovery concerns, end-of-life and cancer-related issues, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is collaborative and grounded in practical steps for everyday life.
Somatic and Attachment-Informed Care Online
Online sessions can combine gentle body awareness with talk-based work. Somatic Therapy invites people to notice breath, posture, and bodily sensations to better understand stress and emotional reactions. This approach can help when anxiety, grief, or chronic tension feel stuck in the body.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape patterns of trust, closeness, and conflict. In online sessions this often looks like exploring how you connect with others, identifying repeating patterns, and practicing new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are paced to fit what feels manageable, and adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection for guided movement or mindful practices. Phone sessions work when video is not possible. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between session times. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to maintain continuity during transitions.
