How Kerry’s Approaches Work Online
Kerry commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take action guided by their values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kerry partners with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs, and preferences. He combines techniques as needed and adjusts plans based on what works in real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and visual cues. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can help with quick updates, coaching-style tasks, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones.
