Dr. Cherie Swingler, LPC

Cherie Swingler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 10 years of experience in counseling and therapeutic services. She has worked extensively with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family conflicts, parenting challenges, addictions, grief, and a range of mood and behavioral conditions including bipolar disorder and ADHD. Her practice also focuses on issues like abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and communication problems.

Cherie uses an integrative approach that draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing to shape individualized treatment. She emphasizes respect, empathy, and nonjudgmental collaboration, believing that each person brings expertise about their own life. Rather than prescribing solutions, she works alongside clients to build insight, practical strategies, and coping skills that match their values and goals.

Clients can expect a supportive therapeutic relationship that balances encouragement with thoughtful challenge, aimed at helping them navigate life transitions, manage symptoms, improve relationships, and strengthen self-esteem. Cherie is committed to guiding clients toward meaningful change while honoring their unique perspectives and choices.
