About Keri
Keri Barrett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of professional experience. She is licensed in Pennsylvania and Virginia and works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and loss, self-esteem, and motivation.
Keri focuses on practical, down-to-earth work in sessions. She helps people talk through what feels overwhelming and build small, usable skills for day-to-day life. Sessions emphasize what is happening now and steps a person can try between meetings.
She also supports people who are managing mood concerns, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and feelings of isolation or shame. Keri pays attention to relationship difficulties, body image worries, workplace strain, and the effects of divorce or separation. Social anxiety and phobia are listed among her areas of focus.
Keri centers the client's own experience when planning sessions. She treats people as the expert on their story and uses that perspective to set practical goals. This can include working on communication, building confidence, and finding ways to cope with intense feelings.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. People can expect clear discussion of what to work on and options to try between sessions. The overall aim is to reduce what gets in the way of day-to-day functioning and to make small, manageable changes that add up over time.
How evidence-based techniques work in online sessions
Many clinicians use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach teaches practical skills for managing anxiety and panic - for example, breathing strategies, grounding exercises, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance. These methods aim to make daily life more manageable and to reduce intense reactions over time.Another frequently used approach focuses on mood and behavioral activation. It helps people identify small activities that boost mood and structure the day to counter low motivation. That work often includes setting achievable tasks and tracking progress in clear, simple ways.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will discuss options, consider the person’s goals and preferences, and adjust methods as needed. That collaborative planning helps make sessions feel relevant and practical.
The original biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit therapy into a workday or a busy schedule, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises for use between sessions so the work continues outside the meeting time.
