About Kerri

Kerri Brown, LMHC, welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or frustrated and who want a clearer direction. She focuses on practical steps that help reduce stress, manage anger, and improve self-worth. Her tone is calm and straightforward, aimed at parents and adults looking for tools that fit their daily lives.

Kerri uses everyday language in sessions and centers the relationship as the foundation for change. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then works with them to try new ways of responding. Goals are set in small, manageable steps so progress feels possible.

She trained with a master’s degree in Counselor Education and has worked in mental health since 2007, bringing 12 years of licensed practice to her work. Her background includes inpatient teen treatment, group homes for adults, community support for young adults in the justice system, and school-based behavioral health.

Kerri blends straightforward cognitive-behavioral methods with client-centered listening and solution-focused planning. She aims to help people accept themselves with more compassion while clarifying purpose and direction. This mix is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and questions about life purpose.

Clients who choose her can expect a steady, goal-oriented process. Sessions look at what is working now, what changes are wanted, and which small steps to take next. Kerri emphasizes momentum - small efforts that add up to real change over time.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and supported while they choose goals that matter to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change automatic thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by breaking problems into manageable parts and practicing new responses.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on what is working now and how to build on strengths. It aims to create quick, practical steps so people can see progress between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs evolve.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone choose a setup that works best for them, such as an audio-only session if that is preferable or a session timed to fit a work break.
