Dr. Anderson has been my therapist for 3 years. She has helped me through many breakthroughs. I had trouble finding a consistent therapist and then Dr. Anderson came along! I have learned so much and I have grown so much since meeting with Dr. Anderson! Dr. Anderson gave worksheets, used other tools besides just talk therapy to help breakthrough. I am a completely different person than when I first started!

More about Cheri

  • 28 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

My name is Dr. Cheri Anderson and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with over 20 years of experience as a mental health psychotherapist and an International Certified Gambling Counselor. I have a PhD in Counseling and Clinical Supervision from Wayne State University. I am trained to use Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) with trauma clients. I provide counseling services to individuals, couples, and families who are experiencing emotional pain.

I also provide Christian counseling by addressing emotional pain from a Biblical perspective- if requested by the client.

I work with clients who are struggling with a variety of issues, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, low-self esteem, technology addictions, gambling addiction, marital issues, boundary issues, relationship issues, anger management, occupational burnout, post-traumatic stress, adjusting to college, conflict resolution, and life after

COVID-19, I use a cadre of therapeutic modalities: client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral therapy, & EMDR.

I meet clients where they are and I provide compassionate and caring emotional support. I provide clients with personalized treatment plans that help them reach their intrapersonal goals that lead towards emotional healing. Please keep in mind that emotional healing begins when you share your story.

I look forward to hearing your story and helping you along your journey to emotional healing.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Dr. Anderson is a very very experienced therapist, full of wisdom and tools to help her patients.

Reviewed February 2024

I have been working with Dr. Anderson for a couple of years now. I have not had a therapist this long before. While I am not the easiest client because I am also in the industry, Dr. Anderson has been helpful and patient and provides a lot of feedback. The energy is always positive. It took a while for me to trust and be open, but Dr. Anderson never took that personally, and that says a lot.

Dr. Anderson has helped me tremendously! I highly recommend her to anyone seeking understanding from childhood trauma & especially someone looking for a faith based therapist. In one year, I have gained a deeper understanding of myself and have been able to put a lot of pieces together about my life and different decisions I’ve made. I’m so thankful for her!

Dr. Anderson and I have been working together for almost 2 years now. When I first met her, I was shut off and didn’t know how to open up. But 2 years later and we’ve had breakthroughs. With BetterHelp, I’m able to do therapy anywhere.

I appreciate Dr. Anderson’s Christian based counsel. I’m a Faith-filled woman who has benefited greatly from her words of wisdom influenced by the Word of God. She listens patiently as I lament on my good days and not so good days. She has given my good sound advice on alternative ways to deal with my stress, anxiety and sadness. She has given my self-care recommendations that I am working on right now, to put in place to refill my half full half empty mental and physical space.

She has taught me consistently is key. When I show up to a session (even when I’m 5 mins late) I know I won’t have to feel guilty or bad, it will still be a great session. Her consistency helps grow my desire to show up for myself, even when it’s not what I want to do in the moment. I strongly encourage anyone who is having self love issues to reach out to Dr. Anderson. My experience so far has been understanding my self and personal growth. It’s been hard but worth it. (I’m not close to being finished and probably never will be). I’m thankful.
