About Kerri
Kerri Brown is a Hawaii-licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, parenting pressures, and anger. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at helping people notice unhelpful patterns and make steady changes.
Kerri asks questions and listens without judgment. She helps clients spot automatic thoughts and the behaviors that follow. Then she introduces simple cognitive techniques and mindful noticing so people can respond rather than react. The focus is on clear, achievable steps rather than quick fixes.
Her training includes a master’s degree in Counselor Education from the University of Alaska, Anchorage, and more than a decade of work across varied clinical settings. Those settings include inpatient treatment for teens, group homes for adults, community support for young adults involved with the justice system, and school-based behavioral health.
In sessions she looks at what currently works and what gets in the way. Clients set goals together with her and try out practical strategies between meetings. She frames progress as small, repeatable steps that build momentum over time.
Kerri also discusses broader life questions like purpose and self-love when they come up. People seeking help for anger, relationship tension, career stress, or struggles related to identity will find an approach aimed at understanding patterns and creating manageable change.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Kerri uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to each person. This approach means the therapist spends time hearing practical problems and preferences before choosing techniques. It helps shape goals that feel relevant to daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting automatic thoughts and testing them with small experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, anger, low mood, and unhelpful behavior patterns because it gives concrete tools to try between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes brief, goal-oriented steps to move forward quickly when clear changes are wanted.
Figuring out which approach to use is a collaborative step. The therapist and client discuss needs, goals, and what feels workable. They may try a CBT technique for a few sessions, then shift to a solution-focused plan if that fits better.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping momentum between meetings. Because the therapist's listed formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. That lets you choose arrangements that match your day-to-day life, whether you need a shorter check-in, a session that doesn't require video, or a regular weekly appointment.
