About Keran
Keran Ernest is a Licensed Master Social Worker with 17 years of experience practicing in Michigan. She focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, and depression.

Clients can expect a welcoming space to talk through difficult feelings and behaviors. Keran aims to reduce shame and isolation by listening and helping people notice patterns that keep problems stuck.
How Keran works
She works with issues like panic attacks, social anxiety, guilt, and struggles with communication. Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. Sessions look at thoughts and actions that contribute to distress and then try small changes to see what helps.
Homework and simple skills are used so progress continues between sessions. Keran values building trust slowly and giving clear feedback. She encourages clients to name what they want to change and sets practical steps toward those goals.
The focus is on improving daily functioning and regaining a sense of control. Anyone interested in starting can expect a respectful, matter-of-fact style aimed at problem solving. Keran supports people who want steady, realistic strategies to manage anxiety, mood, and addictive behaviors.

Online support options
Using CBT online to manage anxiety and addictive behaviors
Keran uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions affect each other. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, low mood, and urges tied to addiction. It emphasizes practical skills and short experiments to see what changes help.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Keran will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the client involved in every step.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and coaching. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work for brief check-ins, skill reminders, and when written reflection feels most useful. These options give flexibility for scheduling and for matching the format to the work being done.
