About Kerrie

Kerrie Pelan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, build motivation, and strengthen self-esteem and confidence, while also supporting those facing career-related difficulties. Her approach centers on recognizing each person as the expert of their own story and identifying the strengths they already possess to overcome challenges.

Kerrie encourages individuals who are taking the first step toward therapy, acknowledging the courage that decision requires and offering steady support as they begin the process. As an LCSW she has training in both clinical assessment and therapeutic techniques to work collaboratively with clients toward meaningful change and improved coping. Her practice emphasizes practical, strength-based work that meets people where they are and helps them move forward at a pace that feels right for them.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for issues like anxiety, low mood, and stress, and it focuses on practical strategies that can change how someone feels and functions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings. This approach can reduce reactivity to stress and support greater self-compassion and emotional regulation in everyday life.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people explore and strengthen their own motivation for change. It is especially useful when someone is facing ambivalence about behaviors such as substance use, career transitions, or other life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Kerrie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone meetings, live chats, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to engage with licensed professionals from locations that are convenient for the client.
