Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s own perspective and strengths. The therapist provides empathy and nonjudgmental support, helping individuals explore values, build self-compassion, and identify goals that feel personally meaningful - useful for concerns like self-esteem, life purpose, and relationship difficulties.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It offers practical skills to notice automatic thoughts, test assumptions, and develop new coping strategies, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Solution-Focused Therapy is goal-oriented and forward-looking. It emphasizes identifying solutions and small actionable steps to create change, making it well suited for people who want concrete progress on specific issues like coping with life changes, parenting challenges, or career decisions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kerri works collaboratively with clients to match methods to individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the work stays relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home or another convenient location, while working with licensed professionals who tailor treatment to each client’s goals.
