About Cherie
Cherie Felzer is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. She aims to create a calm, steady presence so clients can feel heard and begin to move forward. Her approach centers on practical tools and gentle guidance rather than labels or quick fixes.
Cherie draws on 11 years of clinical experience and a longer personal history with movement and somatic practice.
Background and approach
She brings attention to how the body holds emotion and teaches simple ways to notice and shift that tension. Sessions are conversational and anchored in real-life steps clients can try between meetings. People come to Cherie for many concerns, including grief, relationship and intimacy questions, parenting stress, career decisions, addiction struggles, and issues around self-esteem and life purpose.
She also offers support related to cancer care, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and isolation or compassion fatigue. Anger is one of the named focuses she addresses through body-based and mindful practices. Her style blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening, mindfulness, and somatic techniques.
That mix helps clients understand how early patterns show up now and gives simple ways to change unhelpful habits. Cherie emphasizes pacing the work to each person’s comfort level. Sessions are offered remotely from Hawaii and are delivered in English.
People can connect by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She guides clients in selecting practical tools that fit their daily life and goals.

Body-aware and mindful approaches for online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotion. In short sessions Cherie helps clients notice repeating interaction styles and try small changes that feel manageable. Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's experience at the center, with the therapist listening without judgment and following the client's priorities to guide the work. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase clarity when stress or anger arise.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cherie works collaboratively with each person to identify which combination of attachment ideas, mindful practice, or somatic awareness fits their goals. Together they try methods, see what helps, and adjust the plan based on the client's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow for face-to-face interaction and movement awareness, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum while fitting therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
