Hello, I’m Cherokee Cabell, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful changes. I work with adults and couples ages 18 and older who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what comes next. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly, gain a better understanding of yourself, develop practical coping skills, and work toward becoming the best version of yourself. I am the founder of Little Bits Counseling and Therapy and provide telehealth services to clients in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware. I earned my Master of Social Work from Rutgers University–Camden and am also a Certified Clinical Supervisor. In addition to providing therapy, I support the development of future professionals through clinical supervision, nursing preceptorship, and mentorship. I am also the published author of *Rain to Reign* and its companion workbook, which focus on breaking cycles, reclaiming your voice, healing from difficult experiences, and finding empowerment through adversity. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel uncomfortable, but you do not have to have everything figured out before you begin. We can start with where you are and work together toward where you want to be. PLEASE NOTE: Please schedule your first appointment at least 48 hours in advance to allow time to complete and return the required intake forms. This gives me an opportunity to review your information before we meet so that we can make the most of our first session. If you are seeking couples or family therapy, please contact me before scheduling.
During our first session, my goal is to create a comfortable, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where we can begin getting to know one another. We will talk about what brought you to therapy, the challenges you are currently experiencing, relevant life experiences, and what you hope to gain from our work together. You do not have to share everything during the first session or know exactly where to begin. I will ask questions to help guide our conversation and better understand your needs, while giving you space to share at a pace that feels comfortable. By the end of our first session, we will begin identifying your goals for therapy and discussing how we can work together to address them. My hope is that you leave with a clearer understanding of what our work together may look like, an initial sense of direction, and confidence that you have a supportive space to continue the process.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and comfortable being themselves. I listen without judgment and meet clients where they are, while also helping them recognize patterns, explore different perspectives, and identify changes that can move them toward their goals. I believe therapy should be collaborative. I do not believe in telling clients what they should do with their lives. Instead, I ask questions, offer insight, provide practical tools, and sometimes challenge clients to look at situations differently. I adapt my approach based on each person’s needs because therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I also bring authenticity, empathy, and more than 15 years of experience into the therapy room. My goal is for clients to leave sessions not only feeling supported, but with a better understanding of themselves and something meaningful they can carry with them between sessions.
I am best positioned to work with adults and couples who are ready to better understand themselves, improve their relationships, and make meaningful changes in their lives. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, difficulty setting boundaries, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward. You do not have to come to therapy knowing exactly what to say or having everything figured out. I work well with clients who are willing to be open to the process, reflect on patterns in their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships, and gradually take steps toward their goals. Our work is collaborative. I encourage clients to bring concerns, questions, and experiences into the session, while I provide support, insight, feedback, and practical tools along the way. Whether you have a specific goal in mind or need help figuring out where to begin, we can start where you are and work together toward meaningful and lasting change.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we identify thought patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or feeling stuck. Rather than simply telling you to “think positively,” we explore where certain thoughts and beliefs come from, whether they are still serving you, and how they may be influencing the way you respond to situations. I help clients challenge unhelpful patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and practice new ways of responding both in and outside of sessions. I tailor CBT techniques to each client’s individual needs and goals, incorporating practical tools and reflection while allowing space to process the experiences and emotions behind the thoughts.
I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help clients better understand and manage intense emotions, improve communication, and develop healthier ways of responding to stressful situations. Together, we may work on skills related to emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal relationships. In sessions, I help clients identify patterns that may be creating difficulties in their relationships or daily lives and explore more effective ways to respond. This may include learning how to communicate needs, establish and maintain healthy boundaries, manage emotional reactions, and cope with situations that cannot immediately be changed. I incorporate DBT skills based on each client’s individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. The goal is to provide practical strategies that clients can use outside of therapy while continuing to build greater self-awareness and confidence in managing life's challenges.
I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help clients identify their strengths, recognize what is already working, and focus on practical steps toward the changes they want to make. Rather than focusing only on the problem, we also explore your goals, available resources, and times when you have successfully managed similar challenges. In sessions, I may help you break larger concerns into smaller, manageable goals and identify realistic steps you can begin taking between sessions. We build on your existing strengths and progress while adjusting strategies as your needs change. This approach allows us to focus not only on what brought you to therapy, but also on where you want to go and what can help you get there.

I came to therapy looking for support, but instead I was treated with complete coldness and disrespect. From the start, she asked deeply personal questions without making any effort to build trust or even basic comfort. She acted annoyed the entire session, like I was inconveniencing her. When I explained that her approach felt harsh and insincere, she dismissed me and said, “That’s how I do therapy. If you don’t like it, find another therapist.” It felt uncaring and unprofessional.

She was very helpful and was not upset when I had not completed the questionnaire.
