About Keri
Keri Scribner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 11 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family concerns, self-esteem struggles, depression, and life changes.
Keri focuses on practical, evidence-based ways to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness practices. Sessions are aimed at noticing thoughts and trying different, doable responses.
Her work often addresses deeper relationship and identity questions tied to attachment, abandonment, and family of origin issues. She also supports those facing body image and eating-related concerns, communication and commitment problems, and the overlapping challenges of co-morbidity and dissociation.
Keri has experience with blended family issues and challenges connected to autism and Asperger syndrome. She also works with people coping with major life disruptions, including natural or human-caused disasters and the emotional fallout that follows.
The initial focus is on clear, step-by-step goals and manageable practices that can be used between sessions. Keri adapts conversations and plans to what each person needs while keeping the work concrete and focused on everyday progress.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviors they drive. Sessions teach simple skills and experiments to test new responses to anxiety, low mood, or confidence problems. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed action despite difficult feelings; it can help when someone wants to move forward around relationships or life changes. Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person’s priorities and experience, providing space to talk through family and attachment concerns while the therapist listens without directing the agenda. Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. Keri will work with the person to decide whether CBT, ACT, client-centered work, or a mix fits best. That decision is based on the person’s goals, what feels most useful in the first sessions, and practical needs for skills or processing. Confirm the exact session formats before booking since no formats were specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions so they fit into everyday life, for example by arranging brief follow-ups, focusing on homework between meetings, or adjusting session pacing to match work and family obligations.Areas of expertise
