About Kerry

Kerry Dzikiewicz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Rhode Island with five years of experience. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career challenges, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting issues, mood disorders, and ADHD. Kerry also lists work around LGBT matters and family-related difficulties among her areas of focus.

Kerry aims to create a straightforward space where people can talk about what feels difficult. She listens without judgment and helps clients name what matters most to them. Conversations tend to focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than lengthy theory.

Her approach draws on therapies that encourage acceptance of feelings while also building actions that line up with personal values. Kerry uses methods that help shift unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. She also uses interviewing techniques that support motivation and storytelling methods to make sense of life events.

In sessions she works with an individual’s immediate concerns first, then helps set short-term goals. This can include planning for better sleep, managing anger, or handling work stress. She explains strategies in simple terms and checks in about whether they feel helpful.

Kerry’s background includes five years of clinical practice in Rhode Island as an LMHC. She works in English and does not accept international clients. To begin, readers are asked to follow the service’s intake steps and schedule an initial session through the site.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose small actions that reflect what matters most. It can help with anxiety, life changes, and parenting stress by linking values to practical steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that make problems worse and trying different behaviors to test new outcomes. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, and managing anger.

Choosing the right approach is usually a shared task. Kerry will talk with each person about current priorities, try a method for a few sessions, and adjust based on what feels useful. The aim is to find techniques that fit the client’s goals and day-to-day life rather than forcing a single model.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online session options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to schedule around work or caregiving. Kerry will work with each client to shape sessions so they can be practical and manageable within everyday schedules.
