About Cheri
Cheri Mills is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of practice in Utah. She focuses on trauma, anxiety, depression, and problems tied to addiction. Cheri emphasizes the person’s own strengths and helps each client take practical steps toward change.
Her approach is grounded in listening and collaboration. Sessions start by learning what matters most to the client and building a plan that fits their life. She uses tools from client-centered therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client’s goals and values.
Background and approach
Cheri also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness practices are offered to help calm the nervous system and improve present-moment coping. She includes EMDR as one of the approaches she uses when processing trauma-related memories.
For people facing addiction or co-occurring concerns, Cheri incorporates motivational interviewing strategies to explore readiness for change and to strengthen commitment. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. She has worked with a wide range of stressors, including grief, relationship and intimacy issues, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to first responder duties.
Cheri also addresses matters such as body image, codependency, communication problems, and feelings of isolation. Cheri offers sessions in English and practices from Utah. Her style is practical and supportive, aimed at helping people take small, manageable steps toward more stable daily functioning and greater well-being.

Online support
How online approaches and EMDR work together
Cheri combines client-centered listening with practical, skills-based methods. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person's perspective and building therapy around their goals, which helps guide any treatment choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and shift thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, or problematic patterns, offering concrete strategies to try between sessions. Cheri also uses EMDR as one approach to address trauma-related memories, pairing it with other techniques when appropriate.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Cheri will talk with the client about their situation, preferences, and what they hope to change, then suggest strategies to try. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made and new needs appear, keeping the work practical and goal-oriented.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this kind of work. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and real-time skills coaching. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a session fits into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the methods that best match the client's needs.
