About Kerry
Kerry Dzikiewicz helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career uncertainty, and major life changes. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Rhode Island and offers straightforward support for coping, decision-making, and emotional struggles. Kerry keeps sessions simple and focused.
She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters most. Conversations aim to identify small steps that reduce distress and build momentum toward clearer goals.
Background and approach
Her approach blends practical techniques with supportive listening. Kerry uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. She also brings in acceptance-based ideas to help clients notice feelings without getting stuck.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change, and narrative methods can reframe difficult life stories. Kerry tailors these methods to each person’s situation and pace rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
She has five years of clinical experience in counseling adults and works with a wide range of concerns including grief, addictions, parenting stress, sleeping problems, and mood concerns such as depression, bipolar, and ADHD-related challenges. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
How Kerry’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match their values. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to clarify what matters and set small, value-based goals that fit daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. In video or phone sessions Kerry can coach clients through practical exercises, track progress, and assign short activities to practice between meetings.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore motivation and resolve mixed feelings about change. This approach works well in chat or text exchanges for quick check-ins and in longer video sessions for deeper planning.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Kerry will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust techniques over time so sessions match each person’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or on-the-go check-ins are needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief updates, mood tracking, and shorter coaching-style exchanges between longer appointments.
