Cheri Pfeiffer , LCSW

Cheri Pfeiffer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 16 years of experience. She practices in Delaware and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Cheri also supports people managing medical diagnoses and those facing end-of-life concerns. She has a long history of working with LGBT adults and brings that experience into her practice.

Cheri emphasizes a straightforward, collaborative style. She treats therapy as a partnership and treats clients as the experts on their own lives. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps to help people cope with daily challenges. She aims to make the room a nonjudgmental place to talk about what matters most.

Her work often addresses relationship strain, intimacy issues, anger, and self-esteem. Cheri also supports people dealing with addiction, caregiver stress, isolation, and mood disorders. She accepts international clients and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs.

Cheri brings specific experience helping people through cancer, hospice and end-of-life counseling, HIV and AIDS related concerns, and aging or geriatric issues. She also helps those recovering from trauma and abuse and those coping after natural or human-caused disasters. Practical coping strategies and steady emotional support are common features of her approach.

Many clients choose Cheri when they want a calm, steady guide through hard transitions. She invites people to take the first step and work together to set achievable goals. The focus is on helping clients feel more capable and less overwhelmed over time.

Evidence-based techniques and online care

Many clients benefit from practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on problem solving and emotional coping. One common approach emphasizes building skills to manage anxiety and stress through breathing, activity scheduling, and breaking larger problems into smaller steps. This helps when worry or overwhelm get in the way of daily life.

Another approach focuses on grief and loss by helping people name and process painful feelings and find ways to continue meaningful routines. For those facing serious illness or end-of-life concerns, sessions typically center on clear communication, goal setting, and coping strategies that ease decision making and reduce isolation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Cheri will collaborate with each person to find methods that fit their goals, preferences, and current situation. She adjusts plans over time based on what is most helpful and practical for the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people who live far from a clinician. Video calls let you see facial cues and build rapport. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or days when typing feels simpler. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into real life.
