More about Kerry
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am a licensed family therapist (LMFT) in Illinois with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping adults/adolescents/teens with stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, coping with grief, & coping with loss. I work with families on various aspects of the family system such as boundaries, communication, parenting styles and hierarchy within the family system.
I have experience working with adolescents and teens diagnosed with autism, bipolar as well as personality disorders.
I utilize a narrative therapy approach to help clients separate themselves from their problems, allowing them to reframe their life stories and develop new perspectives. I also help clients rewrite their own story in a way that encourages a greater sense of agency, while offering a more compassionate and beneficial perspective on their life. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

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.
