About Keri

Keri Cooper is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience. She uses a warm, respectful style to help people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, sleep problems, depression, and compassion fatigue. She focuses on practical steps and clear conversation so parents and caregivers can make small changes that add up.

Parents reading on a phone will find concise guidance and a steady presence in her approach. Keri tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation.

Background and approach

She draws on client-centered methods to listen and build trust. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try out new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are offered to reduce worry and improve sleep.

She has worked for many years helping people cope with life changes and trauma and abuse, and she includes support for first responder issues when relevant. Keri emphasizes self-love and forgiveness as part of recovery and growth. Sessions are focused, practical, and paced to match what each person needs.

Keri practices in Texas and holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. She prefers clear goals and measurable steps, while keeping the conversation compassionate. Parents and adults who want straightforward support often find this approach useful.

Taking a first step can feel hard. Keri offers a patient, steady presence and helps people move forward one step at a time.

How Keri’s Approach Translates to Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy means starting with careful listening and putting the person’s priorities first. In practice this looks like asking about your main concerns, checking what matters most to you, and shaping sessions around your goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It is useful for stress, sleep issues, and low self-esteem. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and help with sleep and worry.

Finding the right mix of methods is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust as needed. That collaborative plan helps make sure sessions match personal needs and preferences rather than fitting a one-size-fits-all model.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. These options let people fit sessions around family commitments, work, or irregular hours. They also make it possible to keep therapy going during busy or stressful times while using the same client-centered, CBT, and mindfulness approaches Keri practices in person.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
