About Cherish

Cherish Krisciunas is a Florida licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and big life changes. She brings a compassionate, down-to-earth presence to sessions and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Cherish aims to create a respectful space where people can name their worries and try new ways of coping.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape emotions and patterns.

Background and approach

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-centered therapy guides the pace and priorities of each session so the person’s goals come first. Cherish has supported people through family conflict, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns.

She also helps with intimacy-related issues, shame, abandonment concerns, and navigating alternative sex culture topics. Practical skills for managing stress, anger, and compassion fatigue are central to her approach. Sessions mix talk, skill-building, and real-world experiments tailored to what the person needs.

Cherish encourages honest dialogue and focused action so progress can be measured in everyday life. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort rather than a lecture. Working with Cherish involves setting clear goals, tracking small changes, and adjusting strategies over time.

Her aim is to help people feel steadier, more connected in relationships, and better able to manage the challenges they face.

Online support

How attachment and ACT can work online

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how they affect feelings and behavior. Online sessions can be a place to notice those patterns, practice new ways of relating, and try different responses between appointments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that align with their values; it is useful for anxiety, loss, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and pace, offering support and reflection rather than advice.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust as progress is tracked. Together they decide which tools to use and when to shift strategies based on what is helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins, homework support, and quick coping reminders easy to fit into a busy day. These options let people access consistent care while balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
