About Keri
Keri Scribner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She works with adults facing family-related strain, depression, and issues that affect daily motivation and confidence. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at creating a calm space to talk through what matters most to each person.
Keri draws from several practical approaches when shaping sessions. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and to build new coping habits.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies help people notice difficult feelings without getting overwhelmed. Client-centered methods keep the conversation focused on each person's values and goals. With 11 years of experience in Virginia, Keri customizes how she works based on what each person needs.
She listens first, then suggests skills and small experiments to try between sessions. The goal is to make change feel doable, not just theoretical. She also addresses more specific concerns such as attachment and abandonment wounds, body image, eating and food-related issues, dissociation, and blended family challenges.
Keri can help people sort through family of origin issues and communication or control problems that show up in relationships. Keri offers sessions using a mix of approaches so people can find what fits. She encourages steady progress through practical steps, checked and adjusted together as goals evolve.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values despite hard feelings. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, which can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often includes experiments and homework to test new ways of responding to stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Keri will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. She checks in regularly to adjust the plan so the work fits how you live and what you want to accomplish.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions are useful for in-depth conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good choice when lower bandwidth or no camera is needed. Live chat and text allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule and to keep progress moving forward.
