About Kerry

Kerry Adamek is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, bipolar disorder, and depression. Kerry encourages people to see themselves as the expert on their own life and to use their strengths to move forward.

He aims to make the first steps into therapy feel doable and recognizes how much courage it takes to begin. Kerry uses straightforward, skills-based approaches in sessions.

Background and approach

He listens first and helps people set clear, manageable goals. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking patterns and on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values even when things feel hard. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are part of his toolbox when people want to change behaviors or work toward quick, practical steps.

Kerry often breaks bigger problems into small tasks so progress is easier to see. He works collaboratively and adjusts the plan as needs shift. Sessions tend to be conversational and practical.

Kerry helps clients build habits, try new strategies between meetings, and reflect on what works. He respects each person’s pace and encourages steady, realistic movement toward their goals. He practices in Texas and holds the LPC credential.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through a variety of online formats to fit different schedules.

Practical approaches for online family and personal work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and still move toward what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and long-term challenges when values and small actions matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It is helpful for stress, mood issues, and learning new coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to the client’s goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative testing helps figure out whether ACT, CBT, or another method will be most useful for the person’s situation.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family lives or work schedules. They also let people choose a format that feels most comfortable for checking in, practicing skills, and keeping momentum between appointments.

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.
