About Kerline
Kerline Alexis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports clients facing depression, parenting challenges, relationship or family issues, trauma and abuse, and concerns about self-esteem and anger. Her style is warm and interactive and she aims to make sessions feel respectful and nonjudgmental.
Kerline blends practical skills with exploration of life history. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to trace patterns that began earlier in life and affect current relationships. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and usable tools. She may introduce DBT strategies for emotion regulation and coping skills when strong feelings get in the way.
Motivational interviewing can appear when someone needs help aligning values with actions, such as changing habits or managing chronic health issues. Her background includes work with people who have learning disabilities, chronic illnesses, and a range of life stages. Kerline has six years of professional experience and says past life experience informs how she listens and responds in therapy.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches work online
Kerline commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered work means she listens closely and follows the person's lead, helping them find their own answers and build self-awareness. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or change habits.She also brings dialectical behavior therapy skills into sessions when emotion regulation is needed. DBT offers concrete tools for managing intense feelings, improving communication, and tolerating distress without acting on impulses. These approaches are chosen to match the client's goals and current concerns in a collaborative way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerline will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and adjust methods as therapy progresses. She aims to build a shared plan so clients know what to expect and can track progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls create a session that closely resembles face-to-face meetings, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates, ask quick questions, or work through skills between sessions. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical coping skills and emotional support.
