Kerry Dzikiewicz, LMHC

Kerry Dzikiewicz, LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), brings five years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, career difficulties, and major life changes. She works with individuals facing issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting concerns, sleep difficulties, mood disorders including depression and bipolar disorder, ADHD, and a wide range of family and communication problems. Kerry also focuses on areas like adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, end-of-life and hospice concerns, and questions of life purpose and isolation.

Her approach emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly and honestly. Kerry combines therapeutic skills and coaching to help clients build coping strategies, improve communication, manage emotions like anger, and navigate transitions including divorce and separation. She aims to support clients in identifying priorities and taking practical steps toward a more satisfying life. Taking the first step toward change can be daunting - Kerry offers steady support and encouragement through that process. She has morning availability at this time.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action - it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the client leads the pace of change while the therapist offers empathy and understanding - it is useful for improving self-esteem, processing emotions, and strengthening relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skills training, which can be effective for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep difficulties.

Kerry collaborates with each client to determine which approach or combination of approaches fits best based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. That process is shared and flexible, with adjustments made as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Kerry is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and connect from home or other convenient locations while working toward meaningful change.
