About Keran

Keran Ernest is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 17 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, address addictions, and build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Her work also includes support for depression and related concerns such as communication difficulties, feelings of guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, panic attacks, and social anxiety.

Keran uses evidence-informed, practical strategies to help clients explore patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress, and she collaborates with each person to develop realistic goals and coping skills. She emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly and without fear of criticism. This supportive approach aims to help clients move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Taking the first step toward change often takes courage, and Keran offers steady support throughout that process. She works alongside clients to identify strengths, practice new skills, and build momentum for lasting progress, tailoring her approach to each person’s needs and priorities.

CBT-Informed Online Therapy for Stress, Anxiety, and Addictions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is central to Keran’s practice. CBT helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow, then develops practical strategies to challenge those thoughts and build healthier patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and social anxiety because it focuses on skills that can be learned and practiced in daily life.

Alongside core CBT methods, Keran emphasizes skills-based techniques drawn from the CBT framework, such as structured problem solving, coping skills training, and behavioral experiments. These hands-on tools aim to increase motivation, reduce avoidance, and strengthen confidence when facing challenging situations like cravings, stress, or low self-esteem.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Keran works collaboratively with each client to determine what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions to the individual and adjusts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into a busy life. These formats provide flexibility in scheduling and allow clients to access licensed professionals from their preferred location, supporting consistent engagement and ongoing progress.
