About Kerry
Kerry Dzikiewicz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and challenges related to ADHD. She supports those facing relationship strain, career shifts, grief, addiction concerns, and major life changes. Kerry aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward.
Kerry keeps sessions direct and respectful. Conversations focus on daily routines, patterns that cause problems, and small steps clients can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She listens without judging and uses practical tools to reduce overwhelm and build clearer thinking. Her approach blends a few familiar methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behavior to change how someone feels.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, emphasizes values and actions even when difficult feelings are present. Kerry also uses client-centered techniques that follow the person's pace and priorities. Over five years of clinical work in Rhode Island have shaped her style.
Kerry draws on short-term, problem-focused strategies when that fits, and on longer conversations when needed. She works with people across many concerns, including trauma, sleep problems, parenting stress, and caregiving strain. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules.
Kerry encourages people to start with a simple conversation about goals and to adjust the plan as progress is made.
How Kerry’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people identify what matters to them and take actions that match those values even when strong emotions are present. It can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and managing attention challenges like ADHD. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to change mood and daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with stress. Client-centered work centers the person's experience and pace, allowing the therapist to follow the client's lead and build trust over time.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Kerry will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they adjust techniques and the session focus so the work fits the client’s needs and daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can fit into busy days and allow brief updates or focused problem-solving outside of longer sessions.
