About Cherie

Dr. Cherie Swingler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, depression, addictive behaviors, grief, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She also addresses concerns such as parenting challenges, communication problems, caregiver stress, blended family issues, abandonment, intimacy and self-esteem, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. With a decade of clinical practice, she blends practical strategies and empathic listening to meet a wide range of needs.

Her style centers on collaboration and respect, viewing each person as the expert on their life while offering guidance and tools to promote change. She draws on client-centered principles alongside cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy techniques, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to tailor interventions.

The result is a personalized approach that balances insight, skill-building, and supportive challenge. Dr.

Swingler emphasizes rapport, nonjudgmental presence, and partnership as she helps clients explore goals and develop actionable steps toward improved functioning and well-being.

Approaches and Accessibility for Online Care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful partnership where the client’s goals and perspective guide the work; this approach helps people feel heard and supported while identifying their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression, making it useful for stress, mood concerns, and many everyday challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and coping during transitions.

Determining the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapt methods from these approaches so sessions feel relevant and manageable. Clients and therapist refine strategies together as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to fit therapy into busy schedules or different lifestyles. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, during work breaks, or while traveling, and allow for varied communication styles that can support ongoing practice of skills between sessions.
