Cherrise Smith is currently accepting new clients and brings 8 years of clinical experience to her practice in Washington. She is a Washington Licensed Mental Health Counselor (WA LMHC LH 61617193).
Her therapeutic approach is relational, direct, and collaborative, using multiple therapeutic modalities to meet each person where they are. She works with children and teens who struggle with social skills, emotion regulation, anxiety or depression, and coping strategies. Her natural ability to build rapport helps create a space in which young people can recognize challenges, develop strengths, and feel understood and safe while navigating the complexities of youth today.
With adults, she focuses on understanding and accepting how the past has shaped present patterns. She supports clients as they navigate life’s intricacies, overcome barriers, heal from past wounds, and build lives that feel authentic, empowering, and fulfilling.
Her primary areas of focus include trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, and stress. Cherrise considers it an honor to hear each person’s story and to walk alongside them on their journey, and she looks forward to meeting new clients.
Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions for most people.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the format that best fits their needs, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy schedule.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists at any time if they want a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible, effective way to address everyday mental health concerns and support life transitions.
