About Keri
Keri Scribner, LPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety. She works with adults facing low self-esteem, depression, family conflict, and life transitions. Her style is calm and respectful, aimed at making the first step feel easier for someone who is worried or unsure.
She uses clear, practical talk rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on small changes that build confidence.
Background and approach
Keri adapts conversations and plans to match each person's situation instead of offering a one-size-fits-all approach. Over 11 years she has worked with people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, eating and food-related issues, and co-occurring conditions. She also supports those experiencing communication problems, blended family issues, and challenges tied to family of origin.
Keri brings experience with emotional regulation difficulties such as dissociation and disruptive mood dysregulation issues. Her toolbox includes acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness work, and a client-centered orientation. That mix helps people manage symptoms, change unhelpful thinking, and practice new behaviors.
Keri is licensed as a professional counselor in Virginia and offers services in English. She aims to create a compassionate space where people can explore what they want to change and try different ways to get there.
Evidence-based approaches offered online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that reflect their values. This can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and coping with life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It can help when someone struggles with emotional regulation or chaotic relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short updates, quick skill practice, or when writing helps someone process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity of care when in-person visits aren’t possible.
