About Keri
Keri Barrett is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low mood, and relationship struggles.

She has five years of professional experience and holds licenses in Pennsylvania and Virginia. Many people come to her for help with grief and loss, motivation, and self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also supports those facing workplace strain, social anxiety, panic symptoms, and body image concerns. In sessions she listens for what is already working in a person’s life. Then she helps build on those strengths with straightforward strategies.
Conversations typically include problem-solving, practicing new ways of speaking about difficult feelings, and setting manageable goals. Keri emphasizes collaboration. She treats the person in the room as the expert on their own life and offers guidance that fits each individual’s routine and priorities.
This approach makes it easier to try new habits without feeling overwhelmed. People who connect with her often want practical tools for day-to-day stress, clearer communication in relationships, or help navigating major life changes. Keri aims to make progress feel possible, one small step at a time.
Evidence-based techniques and online care that fit your life
Many people find relief from techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills. Cognitive-style approaches help identify negative thinking and replace it with more balanced thoughts, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Behavioral techniques encourage small actions and routines that improve mood and reduce avoidance, useful for panic symptoms and social anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques match their goals and daily life. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than committing to one method from the start.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let you maintain face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a mid-day check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, ongoing check-ins, or times when typing feels easier than talking. Together these formats make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while working around school, work, or family commitments.
