Keri Barrett, LCSW

Keri Barrett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with professional licensure in Pennsylvania and Virginia and five years of clinical experience. She focuses on supporting adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence. Keri also works with concerns related to body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, women's issues, and workplace stress.

Keri approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, treating each person as the expert of their own story while offering guidance and evidence-based strategies to address what is getting in the way of a more fulfilling life. She emphasizes practical skills and compassionate collaboration, helping clients build motivation, improve coping, and reconnect with what matters most to them. Taking the first step toward change can feel daunting, and Keri aims to create a supportive partnership to navigate that process.

Keri offers flexible options for working together and accepts international clients. Her practice is oriented toward helping clients regain confidence, process loss, repair or navigate relationships, and manage symptoms so they can pursue a more balanced and satisfying life.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Keri Barrett uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach centers on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress and anxiety, helping clients learn new ways of responding and reducing symptoms over time. Another approach emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills, teaching strategies to manage overwhelming feelings, navigate grief, and build resilience after difficult life events. A third focus is on interpersonal skills and communication, supporting clients who are working through relationship challenges, separation, or workplace conflicts.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work Keri does with each client. She collaborates to understand individual needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for Keri's practice. Video calls and phone sessions recreate a face-to-face connection, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexibility for busy schedules or when immediate check-ins are helpful. These options make therapy more accessible and easier to integrate into daily life while preserving the same emphasis on effective, evidence-based care.
