How Kerri’s approaches translate to online therapy
Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills. One approach emphasizes identifying and shifting negative thought patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood; it helps people break cycles of worry and self-criticism. Another approach centers on skill-building for daily life, teaching concrete strategies for communication, stress management, and improving self-esteem.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Kerri will work with each person to figure out which methods match their goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address. Together they set small, achievable goals and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper exchanges. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing contact, quick reflections between sessions, and support for people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to continue regular work toward goals.
