About Kerry
Kerry Dzikiewicz is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and addiction concerns. She also supports clients facing relationship strain, career challenges, grief, parenting pressures, and major life changes. Kerry aims to make the first step feel less daunting and offers a calm, nonjudgmental space to begin.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions so people can try new ways of coping between meetings.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what matters most to each person and on small actions that can reduce overwhelm. Her style is collaborative and straightforward rather than overly technical. Kerry draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to match the work to each person’s needs.
She also integrates motivational interviewing and narrative therapy tools when those fit the goals. These methods are used to address sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and identity-related concerns among other topics. With five years of practice as an RI LMHC, Kerry brings experience supporting people through practical changes and emotional challenges.
She pays attention to life context, including caregiving stress, chronic health issues, adoption and foster care topics, and end-of-life concerns. Sessions aim to be a steady place to plan next steps. She offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.
The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How Kerry’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that line up with their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress, often used for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening and empathy to help someone feel heard and to build confidence in their own solutions.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Kerry works with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. She may combine elements from different approaches and will check in regularly to see what is helping and what should change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different situations. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit during a work break. Live chat and texts allow brief check-ins and on-the-go support between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into daily routines.
