About Keri
Keri Scribner offers a calm, straightforward approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or life changes. She is a licensed professional counselor - LPC - based in Virginia who focuses on helping individuals find steady ways to cope and regain motivation. She keeps sessions practical and person-centered.
Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs and paced to match what they can manage. Keri emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while working toward clearer goals.
Background and approach
Her style blends evidence-informed methods and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. She uses tools that can be practiced between sessions so progress continues outside of therapy time. Keri has 11 years of experience in clinical settings.
That time includes supporting people with family conflict, issues related to attachment and abandonment, body image and eating concerns, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. She also works with people facing co-occurring difficulties such as dissociation, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD), and communication or commitment struggles. Sessions are offered in English for adults living in Virginia.
Her goal is to help people build practical coping skills, increase emotional awareness, and find clearer direction. If someone is ready to try therapy, she adapts conversations and plans so each step feels manageable.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is practical and skill-oriented for worry, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm racing thoughts and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, history, and what methods feel most helpful. From there she adapts techniques and pacing so the work fits the person’s needs and preferences rather than applying a single method to everyone.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and reflective conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or regular encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different day-to-day circumstances.
