About Kerry

Kerry Dzikiewicz is a Rhode Island LMHC with five years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career challenges, and difficult life changes. Kerry also supports individuals dealing with anger, grief, sleep problems, addictions, ADHD, depression, and self-esteem concerns.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what a person wants to change. Kerry uses evidence-informed methods to help clients notice patterns, try small experiments, and build practical skills for daily life.

Kerry draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide sessions. That means she will help people clarify values, test unhelpful thoughts, and practice new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy also inform her work when exploring readiness for change and personal stories.

Appointments aim to break issues into manageable steps. Kerry often works on concrete tools for managing anger and stress, problem-solving at work, and improving sleep and routines. She encourages short practice between sessions so new skills stick.

People who choose Kerry can expect calm, practical conversations and direct suggestions to try between visits. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and book a first session through the site. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that fit those values. It is useful for ongoing struggles like anger, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it often includes small homework tasks to practice new skills between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection so people can explore their concerns at their own pace.

Finding a good fit between approach and need is part of the work. Kerry collaborates with clients to choose which methods to try first, and she adjusts plans based on how a person responds. That keeps sessions practical and goal-focused while respecting each person's rhythm.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm the current options before booking to see which format matches your schedule and comfort. Many people appreciate that online sessions make it easier to attend brief check-ins, manage ongoing anger tools between meetings, or schedule sessions around work breaks. Licensed professionals can use these approaches remotely to guide skills practice and problem-solving that apply to everyday life.
