About Keri
Keri Scribner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 11 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, family concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and the strain of life changes. She also focuses on issues like abandonment, attachment, body image, and communication problems.
Keri uses straightforward conversation and practical tools. Sessions are meant to clarify what matters to the client and to develop steps that can be tried between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people identify values and take small, manageable actions.
Mindfulness exercises are offered when helpful for lowering reactivity and building attention. Dialectical behavior skills can be used to manage intense emotions and improve coping. Keri adapts client-centered principles to keep the conversation focused on the person's experience and goals.
In sessions she listens for patterns coming from a person's family of origin, attachment history, or past losses. That information is used to make sense of current guilt, shame, or avoidance without blaming the person. The work aims to increase clarity about choices and to build simple, repeatable practices for daily life.
Practical steps are emphasized over labels. People who come for help can expect clear explanations, collaborative planning, and concrete skills to try between sessions.
How Keri applies approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing painful thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with personal values. It helps when guilt or shame is stopping someone from living in line with what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for reducing anxiety and for practicing new responses to self-criticism and worry.Finding the best approach is collaborative. Keri will listen to what matters, talk through options, and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. Techniques can be adjusted as progress is reviewed so the plan stays practical and relevant.
