About Kerry

Kerry Adamek is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, bipolar disorder, and depression. Kerry describes clients as the experts of their own stories and works with their strengths to address problems.

He uses straightforward, problem-solving work that looks at thoughts, behaviors, and choices. Kerry commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to help people clarify values and practice new habits.

Sessions tend to be practical and goal-minded. Kerry may use short exercises in session and suggest activities to try between meetings. He incorporates techniques from Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy when motivation or specific, short-term goals are central.

People contact him for help with substance use struggles, relationship and family tension, and mood instability linked to bipolar disorder or depression. He also addresses issues such as impulsivity, guilt and shame, codependency, and problems that affect fatherhood and blended family situations.

Kerry works in English and is based in Texas. He asks new clients to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule an initial session so they can outline goals and decide how to proceed.

How Kerry integrates CBT and ACT for remote work

Kerry commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test different responses. CBT sessions often include short, practical exercises and plans to try between meetings, which can fit well into remote work where homework is reviewed together.

He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify what matters most to a person and to build small steps toward those values. Client-Centered Therapy is used to focus on the person’s perspective and to let goals guide each session. These approaches are practical and aim to change what a person does day to day as well as how they think about challenges.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Kerry will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to use and adapt them as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow brief check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Kerry uses structured, goal-focused tasks that translate to online meetings and between-session practice.
