About Keri

Keri Scribner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 11 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles. She focuses on practical steps that bring more ease to daily life and clearer communication in family situations. Keri aims to meet people where they are and tailor conversations to each person’s needs.

She uses a mix of approaches to match what feels most useful. That can include skills to notice thoughts without getting stuck, exercises to change unhelpful behavior patterns, and mindful practices to reduce reactivity. Sessions are grounded in respect, sensitivity, and a hopeful, nonjudgmental stance.

Keri also supports work around attachment, abandonment, body image, eating and food-related issues, and coping with life changes. She helps people talk through family of origin concerns, blended family dynamics, and communication or control issues that make everyday life harder.

Her background includes a decade-plus of clinical practice in Virginia and a commitment to adapting plans as needs shift. She encourages clear goals and a collaborative pace so progress feels achievable. Keri emphasizes small, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes.

If you want to improve confidence, handle recurring worry, or navigate family tension, Keri offers a steady, practical approach. The first step is often a short intake to identify priorities and plan next steps.

How Keri’s Approaches Fit Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take values-based actions even when thoughts and feelings are difficult. It’s useful for anxiety, low motivation, and decisions about life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to shift patterns that keep problems active. It can help with worry, low mood, and unhealthy habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention practices that reduce reactivity and help people notice their experience without getting swept away, which supports stress management and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Keri collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and daily life. She will adjust methods as progress is made or when new challenges appear, keeping the process practical and goal-focused.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing shorter or more frequent check-ins when useful. They also let people use practices learned in sessions in their usual environments, which can speed up skill application and habit change.
