Kerri Wenner , LCSW

Kerri Wenner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Certified Integrative Mental Health Provider (CIMHP) with more than 12 years of clinical experience helping people navigate relationship challenges, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. As an LCSW she holds a professional license to provide clinical therapy, and as a CIMHP she integrates aspects of physical and mental wellness into treatment to support whole-person health.

Kerri emphasizes a tailored approach that meets people where they are, building on individual strengths while introducing evidence-informed tools. Her training with the Gottman Method enhances her work with couples, and her trauma-informed background helps her address deep-seated emotional wounds with sensitivity and structure. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to help clients identify patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and develop coping skills that fit daily life.

In couples work Kerri focuses on restoring communication, trust, and mutual understanding using research-based Gottman strategies. When treating trauma she blends compassionate, trauma-aware methods with practical interventions to promote resilience and safety. She also supports clients managing anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, parenting concerns, and many other issues by adapting therapeutic methods to each person or family she works with.

Kerri approaches therapy as a collaborative process, aiming to be a steady and genuine partner in clients learning, healing, and pursuing a more balanced, meaningful life.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Kerri employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that translate well to online formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive alternatives - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and often includes practical exercises and skill-building. The Gottman Method offers structured, research-informed tools to improve communication, repair conflict, and strengthen emotional connection in couples; these techniques can be practiced and observed in video or phone sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding practices that help reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation across many life challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kerri works collaboratively with each person or couple to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions for the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access to consistent care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to participate from home, fit sessions around work or family commitments, and maintain continuity of care when life or location changes. For many, the variety of communication formats makes it easier to engage in therapy in ways that feel manageable and effective.
