About Kerith
Kerith Edwards is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing from Hawaii with 10 years of experience. She focuses on common but painful concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Kerith listens closely and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She works with people who face low self-esteem, isolation, and struggles around attachment or abandonment. Kerith also helps those coping with family of origin issues, divorce or separation, fatherhood concerns, and problems like codependency, commitment fears, and communication breakdowns.
How Kerith works
Her approach values the relationship between therapist and client as a place for real change. Sessions are conversational and grounded in practical steps rather than jargon. Kerith pays attention to patterns such as control issues, dissociation, guilt, and a sense of emptiness, and she helps people name these patterns and try different ways of responding.
Over a decade in practice has given her experience with people navigating life purpose questions and the emotional fallout from loss. She offers support for men’s issues and the unique pressures many people face when roles shift or expectations collide. Sessions aim to be steady, straightforward, and oriented toward small, useful shifts.
Kerith provides services in English and accepts international clients. She offers multiple session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Kerith uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people understand patterns and try different responses. One common approach she leans on helps people track how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact so they can test small changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. This method is useful for stress, worry, and depression.Another strand of her work addresses attachment and relationship patterns. It helps people notice how past family experiences shape current reactions and then practice new ways of relating. This is often helpful for issues like abandonment fears, codependency, and communication problems.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kerith will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will find ways of working that feel like a good fit. She adapts plans as progress and needs change rather than sticking to one fixed method.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues for more conversational work, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life rhythms.
