About Keri
Keri Scribner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia who helps people handling stress, anxiety, depression, and family-related worries. She focuses on building confidence and motivation so clients can move toward a more fulfilling life. Keri aims for straightforward conversations and practical steps that fit each person’s situation.
She shapes sessions around what a person needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan. That can mean talking through unhelpful thoughts, practicing skills to manage strong emotions, or examining how life stories affect current choices.
Background and approach
Keri draws on narrative approaches to help people reframe problems and find more helpful meanings in their experiences. Her work also uses methods from acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to address anxiety, low mood, and coping with change. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are applied when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are the focus.
Client-centered methods guide the pace and tone so people feel heard as they work through hard topics. Keri has 11 years of professional experience in counseling. She treats issues like attachment and abandonment, body image and eating concerns, blended family challenges, and the impacts of trauma or disaster-related stress.
She also supports people facing dissociation, emptiness, or co-occurring mood concerns. Sessions are offered in English and tailored to individual needs. Keri emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while collaborating with each person to set realistic goals and steps forward.

Online session options
How narrative and skills work online
Online sessions often blend storytelling and practical tools. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by looking at life stories and finding new meanings. This can be useful for family issues, attachment concerns, and feelings of emptiness.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It suits people coping with anxiety, depression, and big life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person's voice guides the pace and topics of sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and daily life. That means trying approaches, getting feedback, and adjusting as needed so progress feels realistic and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can fit a short break or reduce bandwidth needs. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit around work or family commitments.
