01About Keri
Keri Scribner is a licensed professional counselor in Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. She focuses on practical steps that fit each person's life and goals. Her approach is warm and respectful, aimed at making therapy feel manageable for someone taking a first step.
Keri uses a mix of methods to match individual needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action. Sessions are shaped around what the client brings in. Keri listens for patterns tied to family of origin, attachment, or commitment concerns and helps people name them.
She also works with issues like body image, eating-related concerns, and challenges connected to autism and Asperger Syndrome. Her practice includes attention to emotional regulation skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. These tools are presented in plain, usable ways people can try between sessions.
Keri aims to make progress steady and realistic rather than dramatic overnight change. With 11 years of professional experience, Keri adapts plans as people move through different life stages. She encourages small, consistent steps that build confidence over time.
Therapy begins with a short conversation to set goals and pick approaches that feel right for each person.

04Online support
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still moving toward what matters to them. Online sessions can focus on identifying values and setting small behavioral goals that fit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. In teletherapy this often means learning simple exercises and tracking practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then recommend a blend of methods. That decision is collaborative and may change as needs evolve over time.
Online formats here include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or to follow up between longer sessions. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
