About Kerri

Kerri Shaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, and depression. She brings a warm, curious presence to sessions and aims to make therapy feel approachable and manageable. Kerri creates a calm space where people can talk through what’s hard and find practical ways to cope and connect.

She values humor and ordinary moments, so therapy can feel hopeful as well as honest. She earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Oklahoma.

Background and approach

Before counseling, she studied marketing at East Central University. Kerri is pursuing an Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree in Marriage and Family Counseling to deepen her skills in working with couples and relational issues. In sessions she emphasizes clear, practical tools for communication and emotional connection.

She helps partners address trust, intimacy, and feeling stuck by focusing on small changes that build understanding over time. Kerri aims for sessions that feel grounded rather than heavy, and she encourages clients to bring their real lives into the work. Her style blends compassion with curiosity.

She listens closely and asks questions that help people see patterns and options. Many clients appreciate that she treats their concerns with dignity while keeping therapy accessible and down to earth. Outside of work she is married and a parent to five children.

Her life includes busy, ordinary days and small moments of courage and care. That everyday perspective often informs how she supports people through change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Many of Kerri’s techniques come from evidence-based therapeutic methods that focus on clear skills and real-world change. One common approach is skill-based work for anxiety and stress, which teaches breathing, grounding, and thought skills to reduce worry and improve daily functioning. Another emphasis is on relationship-focused methods that help partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and respond to intimacy challenges in practical ways.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerri collaborates with each person or couple to figure out which methods match their goals and comfort level. She adjusts techniques over time based on what feels helpful, and she invites clients to give feedback so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines and needs. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care, try shorter check-ins, or use different formats as situations change. The combination of evidence-based approaches and flexible online formats helps people find practical ways to manage stress, strengthen connection, and work toward their goals.
