Cherish Krisciunas

Cherish Krisciunas is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 12 years of experience. She helps people manage anxiety, grief, relationship strain, career concerns, and major life changes. Her manner is warm and nonjudgmental, and she focuses on clear, usable steps people can try between sessions.

Cherish centers the work on each person’s goals. Sessions are collaborative and client-centered, so goals and tools are shaped around what matters to the individual. She uses practical techniques to reduce stress, improve communication, and address painful memories or patterns that keep showing up.

Her background blends evidence-based therapies with relational approaches. That mix supports people who are coping with loss, healing from trauma, or trying to rebuild trust after betrayal. Cherish also supports those facing caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, and challenges around intimacy and attachment.

Expect straightforward skill-building alongside deeper emotional work. Cherish aims for a balance of insight and action - helping people notice how they respond, try new behaviors, and adjust what isn’t working. Sessions often include exercises for managing emotions and improving interactions with others.

If someone is looking for help with career-related stress, relationship difficulties, or persistent anxiety, Cherish brings steady guidance and practical tools.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current connections; it helps when trust, intimacy, or abandonment fears cause pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and lower symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Sessions often combine techniques so the plan can shift as progress and priorities change.

Specific session formats were not listed in the profile, so confirm available delivery options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, scheduling a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It also lets people practice new skills in the moments they arise and bring those experiences back to discussion in later sessions.
