About Kerri-
Kerri-Ann Wilson-Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, family, and parenting. She speaks English and practices from New Jersey. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more capable in daily life.
Kerri-Ann uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. She also teaches simple mindfulness and relaxation exercises and emphasizes self-care as part of healing.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on real-life skills people can use between meetings. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work (Special) from the University of the West Indies in Jamaica and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the Graduate School of Theology in Jamaica.
Kerri-Ann holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - and has about nine years of professional experience in mental health settings. In practice she aims to build trust through empathy and clear, patient communication.
Her background includes roles as a mental health therapist and an outpatient therapist, which shaped her hands-on approach to common worries like anxiety, low mood, and trauma-related concerns. Her sessions use practical steps and small goals so progress feels manageable. People work on coping strategies, clearer thinking patterns, and ways to reduce overwhelm.
The focus is on making daily life easier and more resilient over time.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses. It breaks worries or low mood into smaller parts so practical steps and homework can lead to change. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It is useful when emotions feel overwhelming and when people need steady skills to manage intense states.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration includes checking what feels useful and adjusting focus over time so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to practice skills in the moment. They also allow consistent contact when in-person visits are hard to arrange, so people can keep working toward clearer thinking, calmer emotions, and better day-to-day coping.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
