About Kerrie

Kerrie Blair is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Missouri. She brings 12 years of clinical experience and focuses on relationship challenges, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, anxiety, and addiction-related struggles. Kerrie uses practical talk, empathy, and evidence-informed techniques to help people move forward.

Kerrie draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people feel heard. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck and to build concrete coping skills.

Background and approach

Solution-Focused Therapy helps keep sessions goal-oriented and practical when people need short-term relief and clearer next steps. Her background includes work with people facing bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem concerns. She has experience addressing family of origin issues, communication problems, infidelity, and anger.

Kerrie also lists experience with autism and Asperger syndrome, dissociation, gender dysphoria, and several other focused areas. Sessions are adapted to each person’s situation. Kerrie emphasizes collaboration and tailors the plan to match individual goals and preferences.

She aims to combine warmth with clear strategies so people leave with skills they can use between sessions. Kerrie encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed by life changes, parenting stress, or relationship pain to consider reaching out. The first steps typically involve a short questionnaire and scheduling a session.

She supports people as they work toward clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better communication.

How Kerrie’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people feel understood; this approach suits relationship troubles, parenting strain, and emotional recovery after trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, or change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kerrie works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the mix of listening, skill practice, and goal work as sessions progress so therapy stays practical and targeted.

Online formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations. Phone sessions offer a simpler way to connect when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options add flexibility for parents and people juggling busy schedules while still allowing therapists to use client-centered and CBT techniques effectively online.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
