About Keri
Keri Barrett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Pennsylvania and Virginia with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Keri helps clients who are dealing with guilt and shame and other concerns like body image and workplace stress.
She approaches sessions as a collaborative effort, treating the person as the expert on their own life. Conversations focus on identifying strengths and practical steps that fit into day-to-day life. Keri aims to help people increase confidence and motivation while they work through painful feelings.
In session she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating, then helps break those patterns with concrete strategies. That can include practicing clearer communication, managing panic or overwhelming anxiety, and coping with loss. She pays attention to how beliefs about oneself contribute to shame and guilt and works with clients to challenge those beliefs.
Keri also addresses social anxiety, post-traumatic stress reactions, and struggles tied to divorce or separation. Work often includes short-term tools for immediate relief plus longer-term skills to change unhelpful habits. The approach is practical and focused on measurable steps.
People who reach out will be asked about their goals and what has been tried already. Keri helps map a path forward that fits the client’s routine and priorities. Sessions aim to be straightforward and usable between meetings.
How evidence-based approaches guide online sessions
Many evidence-based techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive-style approaches help identify and shift thought patterns that feed anxiety, guilt, or low self-esteem. These methods teach practical steps to test beliefs and change the way people react to difficult situations.Skills-based approaches focus on concrete tools for managing symptoms. That can include breathing and grounding for panic, communication practice for relationship problems, and behavioral steps to reduce avoidance in social anxiety. These skills can be practiced between sessions to support steady progress.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. That means talking about what feels doable and adjusting methods as needs change.
