Keri Scribner

Keri Scribner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, family concerns, self-esteem struggles, motivation problems, and major life changes.

Keri uses straightforward conversation to help clients sort priorities and regain momentum. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. She adapts her style to each person rather than following a single formula.

Her approach blends several well-known methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take action that matches those values.

Keri also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing strong emotions and Mindfulness techniques for grounding and focus. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and responds during sessions.

She has worked with issues related to attachment, abandonment, blended family dynamics, body image, eating concerns, dissociation, and coping after disasters. Keri also supports people dealing with communication and control problems, commitment doubts, emptiness, and family of origin questions.

Sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented. People who feel stuck about work, relationships, or what comes next often find it helpful to talk things through and try concrete steps between meetings.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps that reflect those values. It can help when someone feels stuck after a big change or is unsure what to prioritize. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviors and offers practical tools to shift them, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and motivation problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and what shows progress. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, reduce the need to travel, and let people use mindfulness or skills work in real-time between obligations. Licensed professionals can guide how to use techniques from ACT, CBT, or DBT across sessions and everyday routines.
