Keri Scribner, LPC

Keri Scribner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, changes in life, low self-esteem, and depression. She focuses on practical conversations and clear steps. Keri meets each person where they are and works at a steady, manageable pace. Keri listens with respect and sensitivity. She and the client shape a plan together that fits one person's needs rather than applying the same steps to everyone. Conversations are tailored to the problem at hand, whether that is family strain, motivation, or confidence building. Her background includes 11 years of professional experience in counseling. Over that time she has worked with issues connected to attachment and abandonment, blended family concerns, body image, eating and food-related issues, dissociation, and other complex presentations. She also supports people coping with natural or human-caused disaster and disruptive mood patterns. Keri draws on several evidence-based approaches when helping people change thoughts and everyday habits. She uses cognitive and mindfulness-based tools and adapts behavioral strategies to the person’s life. She also uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person’s goals. Taking the first step can feel hard. Keri offers steady support and practical skills so people can try small changes and notice different results over time. If you want a counselor who will listen, tailor the plan, and work with thoughts and everyday habits, she may be a good fit.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small, committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus on the present moment.

Figuring out the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That can include trying one approach and adjusting over time if something else seems like a better match.

Confirm the available online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by removing commute time and allowing appointments from different locations. They can also suit shorter check-ins or sessions when someone prefers not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help people practice new skills and manage everyday habits within their normal routines.
