Keri-Anne Colberg

Keri-Anne Colberg is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ related concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and bipolar mood concerns. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, control issues, and questions about life purpose.

Keri-Anne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps conversations direct and practical. Sessions focus on what is causing distress now, patterns that keep problems going, and simple skills to manage intense feelings. She pays attention to how relationships, past hurts, and daily demands affect mood and motivation.

Her approach adapts to each person’s needs while staying focused on clear goals. She helps people identify small, realistic steps to reduce overwhelm and improve decision making. Work may include looking at thought patterns, building emotional regulation skills, and practicing different ways of relating to others.

Keri-Anne aims to be respectful and sensitive in sessions, and she encourages open, honest dialogue about what feels most helpful. People often come for short-term work around a specific stressor or for longer support with recurring mood and relationship struggles. She asks practical questions and tracks progress so sessions stay relevant and action oriented.

To start, she guides clients through a brief intake that clarifies priorities and pacing. That first conversation sets shared goals and a plan for the next steps.

How therapeutic methods translate to online work

Many clinicians use evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral approaches and trauma-informed strategies. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood. Trauma-informed strategies focus on stabilizing symptoms, improving emotional regulation, and reducing distress from past harm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan based on what fits and what produces noticeable change.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the original biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, fit therapy around work or caregiving, or avoid travel time. They also allow a consistent weekly slot when life gets busy, and let the therapist and client focus on skill practice and problem solving in ways that fit everyday routines.
