About Cherish
Cherish Krisciunas is an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Florida with 12 years of experience. She works with people dealing with anxiety, grief, relationship and family difficulties, depression, and major life changes. Cherish also addresses issues such as compassion fatigue, career stress, and intimacy-related concerns.
Her style is client-centered and collaborative. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Sessions focus on naming feelings, noticing interaction patterns, and learning practical skills to manage stress and difficult emotions.
Cherish has supported individuals through loss, trauma, and transitions. She helps people untangle patterns around attachment, abandonment, infidelity, and communication problems. Work can include short-term coaching goals as well as longer-term therapy for deeper issues.
In sessions she offers straightforward tools you can try between meetings. That may include exercises to shift unhelpful thoughts, experiments to change relationship patterns, and steps to increase emotional awareness. Progress is tracked by the goals a person brings to therapy.
She conducts work from Florida and meets with clients in English. Practical matters such as fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Cherish applies EFT, ACT, and attachment work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name hard-to-reach emotions and notice how those feelings shape interactions. It is often used when relationship patterns and attachment needs are central concerns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and stress when behavior change is a goal.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses. It can be useful for people wrestling with abandonment, fear of intimacy, or repeated relationship cycles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cherish will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means combining emotion-focused exploration with practical CBT or ACT exercises when that seems helpful.
