About Kerri
Kerri Brown is a Hawaii-licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, ADHD, addictions, grief, career questions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting struggles, anger, and LGBT issues. She also focuses on life purpose and self-love.
She uses plain talk to help people notice the thoughts and actions that keep them stuck. Sessions look at which behaviors are helping and which are holding someone back. She introduces cognitive-behavioral ideas and simple mindfulness practices so people can step back from automatic thoughts and emotions.
Kerri trained with a master's degree in Counselor Education from the University of Alaska, Anchorage. Her background includes inpatient treatment for teens, group homes for adults, community support for young adults in the justice system, and school-based behavioral health. That mix shapes how she meets practical, everyday problems.
Her style is collaborative and action-focused. She helps set small, clear goals and tracks steady progress. The work often blends skill practice, short-term problem solving, and checking the thoughts that get in the way of purposeful steps.
People seeking a clearer sense of direction after a job, relationship, or health change may find this approach useful. She asks questions, suggests exercises, and helps plan manageable next steps. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. The therapist offers empathy and reflective responses so people can clarify what matters and decide their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and challenge automatic thoughts and change unhelpful behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and confidence issues. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on specific goals and small, actionable steps that can be tried between sessions.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and personal preferences and then pick methods together. That collaborative process can change as someone makes progress or when new issues come up.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy day and reducing travel time so appointments are easier to keep. Different online arrangements can make sessions shorter or allow someone to join without being on camera, but exact formats are not listed here. Confirm the available session options before booking to find what fits daily routines and goals.
