Kerry Dzikiewicz, LMHC

Kerry Dzikiewicz is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career pressures, and major life changes. She also provides support for grief, sleep struggles, addiction concerns, mood disorders like depression and bipolar, ADHD, and questions around identity and LGBT issues. Her tone is straightforward and supportive. Kerry aims to make the first step feel doable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

In sessions Kerry focuses on building a conversational space where thoughts and feelings can be said out loud without fear of judgment. She listens for what matters most to each person and uses practical tools to work toward clearer thinking and steadier emotion. Sessions typically involve setting small goals, trying new ways of responding, and reviewing what helped between meetings.

Kerry draws from several approaches to tailor the work to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in clarifying values and taking committed action. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in respect, empathy, and the client’s priorities.

She brings five years of clinical practice to sessions and holds an RI LMHC credential, which is shown here as LMHC. Kerry works with adults on many common life challenges and specific concerns such as caregiving stress, chronic illness, adoption and foster care questions, and issues faced by first responders.

To begin, people are encouraged to consider what they hope to change and take the matching step to arrange an initial meeting. Kerry offers morning appointment times at present and focuses on helping people find workable routines and clearer next steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Many of Kerry's methods adapt well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors; it often uses short exercises and homework that translate easily to online meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps; that work can be done through conversation and guided exercises during a virtual session. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on listening, empathy, and the client's goals, which supports steady progress over video or phone.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Kerry will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try approaches that seem to fit. If something doesn’t feel helpful, she will adjust the plan together with the client so the work stays practical and relevant.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. People often find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into a busy day, keeping appointments during life transitions, or doing focused check-ins without travel. Some formats work better for short check-ins, and others allow for longer therapeutic work, so discuss what will fit into daily routines when scheduling.
