About Keri

Keri Barrett is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and anxiety. She draws on five years of experience to help people facing depression, relationship strain, grief, and low self-esteem. Keri speaks plainly and focuses on small, doable steps that can fit into a busy week.

She begins by listening to each person's story and identifying strengths they already have. Then she works with them to set realistic goals and try different strategies to manage mood and worry.

Background and approach

Sessions are aimed at building confidence, improving communication, and easing the weight of loss or change. Keri has worked with issues like body image, social anxiety, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress. She also helps people navigate workplace stress, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation.

Her approach is flexible and centered on the client's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. In sessions, Keri helps people notice patterns, practice new ways of responding, and track small wins over time. She supports parents and adults who want clearer boundaries, better self-care, and stronger self-worth.

Keri is licensed in Pennsylvania and Virginia as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, or LCSW. People who choose her can expect straightforward talk, coping skills to try between sessions, and a steady focus on progress. The aim is to leave each meeting with one or two practical steps to try before the next visit.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Keri lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and practical changes. Skill-based approaches teach concrete tools to manage stress and anxiety, such as breath work, grounding exercises, and step-by-step plans for facing fears. These methods can help with panic attacks, social anxiety, and overwhelming worry.

Another commonly used approach focuses on improving how people communicate and relate to others. This helps when relationship problems, workplace conflict, or separation create ongoing stress. Work in this area emphasizes practicing new ways to speak up, set boundaries, and repair misunderstandings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that match their goals, comfort level, and daily life. Together they will try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so sessions fit the person's needs.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it simple to check in between sessions or when a shorter update works better. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy schedule while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
