Cherish Krisciunas, LCSW

Cherish Krisciunas is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with over 12 years of experience. She meets people where they are and helps them untangle anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and big life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking so everyday routines and choices feel more manageable.

Cherish brings a warm, respectful, and nonjudgmental presence to the room. She centers the conversation on each person's values and goals, and she listens for what matters most. That approach helps people identify small, achievable changes they can use right away to reduce stress and improve relationships.

Her work blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral ideas and attachment-based perspectives. She helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and habits, and then tests new ways of coping that fit their life. Cherish also uses emotion-focused techniques to improve how partners and family members connect during difficult moments.

Clients often leave sessions with specific tools for managing anxiety, grief, anger, and relationship conflict. Practical exercises, communication skills, and real-world practice are common parts of the plan. The goal is to build steadier habits and clearer thinking that carry into daily life.

Cherish asks questions, guides small experiments, and adjusts the plan as needs change. She encourages honesty, steady progress, and realistic expectations. If someone wants support with stress, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, or changing life roles, she works to make therapy useful and doable.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck when old habits get in the way. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and adult relationships shape responses to stress and intimacy; it is helpful for improving connection and managing relationship conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and habits by teaching practical skills and behavior experiments that reduce symptoms and build better routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That decision is revisited over time so the plan stays useful as needs change.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and practice new skills between meetings. Some formats may allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that helps with focus or bandwidth. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they fit into work, family, and other responsibilities.
