About Kerri
Kerri Brown, LMHC, welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or big life changes. She speaks plainly and helps people name what they are facing. Sessions focus on practical steps to feel steadier and make clearer choices about work, relationships, parenting, and personal goals.
Kerri uses a client-centered stance that starts with listening and building trust. She blends that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused ideas to notice unhelpful thoughts and try small changes that lead to momentum. The work often involves spotting automatic thoughts, testing them, and practicing new responses.
Her background includes a master’s degree in Counselor Education from the University of Alaska, Anchorage and 12 years working in multiple settings. She has experience in inpatient teen treatment, adult group homes, community support for young adults involved with the justice system, and school-based behavioral health.
Kerri helps people develop more self-compassion so they can set clearer goals and move forward. She often frames change as a series of small steps that build over time. This pace is meant to make goals feel reachable rather than overwhelming.
People seeking help for ADHD, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, LGBT concerns, career questions, or parenting strain may find practical strategies in sessions. Kerri practices in Hawaii and conducts sessions in English. Confirm current session options before booking.
How these approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s pace to build trust and clarity. This approach helps when someone needs to feel understood before making changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice automatic thoughts and test them against reality. It is practical for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that interfere with daily life. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete steps and useful next actions rather than long problem histories, which can speed up progress on specific goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they set small, achievable steps and track what helps so the plan can change as needed.
Please confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and cut out travel time so sessions can occur between errands or during a work break. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, thought records, and goal-setting to remote sessions so progress continues even when meeting remotely.
