About Cherish

Cherish Krisciunas is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida with 12 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and big life transitions. She brings a warm, respectful presence to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her style is straightforward and steady, aimed at helping clients feel heard and supported.

Cherish uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches to help clients notice and name emotions that shape their relationships.

Background and approach

She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thought patterns. Sessions are tailored to each person’s goals and pace rather than following a one-size-fits-all script. People working with her often focus on improving communication, coping with loss, reducing stress and anxiety, and rebuilding self-esteem after setbacks.

She also supports people facing caregiving strain, end-of-life concerns, intimacy questions, and issues around trust and abandonment. The work can involve short-term skill building or deeper relational exploration depending on needs. Therapy with Cherish aims to mix insight and action.

Clients can expect concrete tools for managing emotions, clearer ways to communicate, and steps to change daily habits that contribute to stress. She emphasizes collaboration so goals reflect each person’s values and strengths. Sessions are offered in English and available through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Prospective clients in Florida can follow the platform’s process to get matched and schedule sessions.

Online support

Emotion-focused care delivered online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and responding to core emotions that shape how people relate to others. It helps clients understand emotional patterns and create new ways of connecting and responding, especially around intimacy and attachment concerns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts without letting them dictate actions and clarifying personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making purposeful life changes by teaching practical exercises to stay engaged in what matters.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect behavior and feelings. It supports people working through trust, abandonment, or intimacy challenges by examining how they connect with others and forming healthier relational habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cherish will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean focusing on emotional processing in some sessions and skills training in others, with the plan adjusted over time.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free option is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of connecting with a licensed professional.
