About Keri
Keri Scribner is a licensed professional counselor in Virginia with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in confidence, or struggling to manage life changes. Keri aims to provide a respectful and compassionate space for people to start tackling the problems that matter to them.
She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. In sessions she draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
How Keri works
She also uses acceptance and mindfulness-based ideas to help people live in line with their values despite hard emotions. Keri pays attention to family-related concerns such as blended family issues and family of origin wounds. She also supports work on attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and eating-related difficulties, and the emotional impact of trauma or disruptive mood patterns.
She is familiar with challenges that can co-occur, including dissociation and other complex presentations. People may use her help for coping after natural or human-caused disasters, managing control and communication problems, or addressing commitment and relationship worries as an individual concern. Keri’s style is collaborative and direct, focused on clear steps and skills that fit day-to-day life.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Therapy subscriptions can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It’s useful for anxiety, low motivation, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to change them, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills for those who struggle with intense feelings or relationship conflicts.Choosing the right approach is part of the work and not a one-time decision. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different techniques to find what fits. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what the person needs most in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and practicing skills face to face, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use methods that match personal comfort and needs.
