Keri Scribner, LPC - Therapist in Virginia

About Keri

Keri Scribner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She offers a calm, respectful manner and aims to make conversations clear and approachable. Keri meets people where they are and helps them take small, practical steps toward feeling better.

Seeking help can feel hard and she aims to make that first move easier for families and individuals.

Background and approach

Keri uses a mix of evidence-based methods to shape sessions around each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients live by their values, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness tools are also available for building emotion regulation and present-moment skills.

Sessions are collaborative and guided by what matters most to the client. Keri listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals. She adapts conversation style and homework to match each family’s routine and pace.

With 11 years of experience, Keri has worked through many common family problems and mood concerns. Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while keeping language simple and concrete. She explains options and helps clients choose what feels most useful.

Keri practices in Virginia and works in English. She offers multiple online formats so families can find what fits their schedules and daily life.

Online approaches that fit family life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take small committed steps toward them, which can help with motivation and meaning during family transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, low mood, and communication patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness that many people find helpful during intense family conflicts.

Choosing the right method is a joint process. Keri talks with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggests one or more approaches to try. The plan can change over time based on what works best, so clients stay involved in deciding the path forward.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy households. Video calls let families meet face-to-face without travel, phone sessions work when screens aren’t convenient, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins and ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, and family routines while keeping the focus on practical, usable skills.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
