About Kerri-
Kerri-Ann Wilson-Jones greets people with a calm, practical style. She focuses on helping those feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, and issues tied to relationships, parenting, and family life. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working from New Jersey and speaks English.
Kerri-Ann draws on nearly a decade of hands-on experience in mental health settings. Her background includes roles as a mental health therapist and outpatient counselor. That mix has shaped a straightforward way of working that balances practical skills with everyday empathy.
Background and approach
In sessions she uses strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also teaches simple mindfulness and relaxation techniques. Many sessions include concrete tools clients can try between meetings, like thought records and short breathing exercises.
Kerri-Ann emphasizes self-care and clear steps toward change. She aims to build trust through genuine concern and steady pacing. Progress is often a mix of talking through issues and practicing new habits at home.
Her training began with a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work from the University of the West Indies and continued with a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology. Over the years she has worked to support people presenting with trauma, anxiety, and depression. Kerri-Ann blends that experience with a focused, organized approach to help people manage difficult moments and build coping skills.
CBT and DBT approaches for online care
CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In plain terms, it helps people notice patterns that raise anxiety or low mood and then test small changes to feel better. DBT adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping under stress, such as grounding techniques and emotion-regulation exercises.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT, or a mix fits their goals and day-to-day challenges. That collaborative process includes trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people work face to face when that is helpful. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules and to keep practicing skills between meetings.
