More about Kerry

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LICSW

I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed independently in the state of Massachusetts. I have over 7 years experience working with individuals and families with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship issues, parenting support, and self-esteem issues. I believe that shared compassion and empathy are the driving forces behind effective therapy.

I utilize a variety of treatment approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, psycho-dynamic therapy, and solution focused methods. Above all, I believe in a collaborative treatment approach where the client is a "partner" in his/her own treatment. After speaking with you and learning about you I will tailor your treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
