Background and approach

Sessions focus on small, doable changes that add up over time. She often combines evidence-based tools with collaborative goal-setting. Her training includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered approaches, and Narrative Therapy.

Kerry draws from these methods to match techniques to each person’s needs. She pays attention to daily routines, values, and the stories people tell about themselves. Clients can expect conversations about what matters to them, strategies to manage difficult feelings, and gentle challenges to try new behaviors.

Kerry emphasizes practical coping skills alongside reflection about personal goals and values. Her approach balances support with clear, action-oriented plans. She has five years of clinical experience and works with adults across a wide range of life concerns.

Kerry holds the Rhode Island LMHC credential (RI LMHC MHC01286). Sessions are offered in English and arranged around client scheduling preferences.

Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood management.

Kerry treats approach selection as a team decision. She will talk with clients about their goals, try a few techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels helpful. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, keep continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Kerry combines structured skill teaching with conversational check-ins across these formats to support steady progress.

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.
