About Kerry
Kerry Guernsey is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, eating concerns, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and ADHD. Kerry focuses on clear, compassionate support that feels practical and doable.
Kerry uses a collaborative style in sessions. She talks with clients to identify realistic goals and small steps. The pace is steady and respectful, with an emphasis on self-compassion and better communication.
Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques.
How Kerry works
Sessions often include ways to manage anxiety, tools to change unhelpful habits around food and body image, and strategies for improving day-to-day functioning with ADHD. Kerry aims to make skills easy to use between appointments. She also addresses issues that commonly overlap, such as caregiver stress, codependency, isolation, and problems with commitment or communication.
Kerry helps people untangle co-occurring concerns so progress in one area supports others. With 13 years of experience, Kerry offers practical guidance for life changes and emotional struggles. Her approach balances warmth with clear direction.
People who prefer a thoughtful, step-by-step process for growth may find her way of working helpful.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Two evidence-based methods Kerry uses are skills-focused work for anxiety and structured support for eating and body-image concerns. Skills-focused work teaches straightforward coping tools for anxiety, such as breathing, behavioral experiments, and breaking problems into smaller steps. Structured support for eating and body-image issues looks at patterns around food and self-talk and builds healthier routines and balanced thinking.A third common component is practical coaching for ADHD-related challenges. This involves organizing tasks, creating manageable routines, and using brief strategies to reduce impulsivity and improve focus. Each approach is centered on teaching things people can try between sessions to create steady change.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and life demands, then tailor techniques that fit their needs. Sessions evolve as progress is made so plans stay useful and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people share updates or get brief support between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
