About Keri
Keri Scribner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, family conflict, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She draws on 11 years of clinical experience to customize conversations and treatment plans for each person's situation, meeting clients with compassion, sensitivity, and respect. Keri emphasizes a collaborative approach that honors the courage it takes to seek change and supports practical steps toward greater functioning and emotional balance.
Her work incorporates a range of evidence-informed methods, and she adapts those tools to fit individual strengths and preferences. In addition to core concerns like mood and anxiety, she has focused attention on issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, body image and eating-related concerns, blended family dynamics, dissociation, and other complex reactions to stress and trauma.
Keri aims to create a space where clients can explore patterns, develop coping strategies, and build toward more satisfying relationships and daily living.
Integrating evidence-based approaches with online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. It typically involves practical skills and structured exercises to help clients test thoughts and develop alternative responses. ACT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, helps people clarify their values and practice mindful acceptance of difficult emotions while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. It is often used when clients want to build psychological flexibility and tolerate distress while moving forward. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathic therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and reflects to help individuals access their own problem-solving capacity and self-directed growth.Choosing the most helpful approach is part of the collaborative process; the therapist will work with each client to identify goals, try methods that fit personal preferences, and adjust strategies over time. That teamwork helps ensure the therapeutic plan aligns with what the client wants to achieve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and day-to-day life. These options can make it easier to keep consistent appointments, practice skills between meetings, and access support from home or work while working toward improved well-being.
