Keri Scribner

Keri Scribner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, family conflict, depression, and big life changes. She writes short, direct plans with each person and focuses on small steps toward more satisfying days. Keri aims to listen without judgment and respond with practical ways to move forward.

She brings 11 years of experience to conversations about motivation, confidence, and feeling stuck. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change next. Keri adapts the work to each person's needs rather than applying the same process to everyone.

Her approach draws from several well-known methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means she uses gentle acceptance, practical skills, and a collaborative tone to help people notice thoughts, test unhelpful patterns, and make values-driven choices.

Keri also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to help when emotions feel overwhelming. She often teaches simple emotion regulation and grounding skills that can be used between sessions. This is useful for people who want clear tools as well as someone to talk things through with.

She treats concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image struggles, dissociation, and challenges tied to family of origin. People seeking help for coping with natural or human-caused disasters, co-occurring problems, or eating and food-related issues may also find this approach helpful. Keri works in English and practices in Virginia.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online work can focus on small values-based experiments and brief behavioral steps to try between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thought and behavior patterns that keep stress and anxiety active. In virtual sessions, CBT often uses homework, thought records, and problem-solving tasks that clients complete between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together identify which methods feel most useful. That collaborative plan can shift over time as needs change and new challenges arise.

The therapist's specific online session formats are not listed here, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let them practice skills in the environments where stress happens. If technology or timing is a concern, discuss it during scheduling so the therapist and client can choose a workable arrangement.
