About Kerrie
Kerrie Pelan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with three years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, mood concerns, relationship struggles, and changes in life circumstances. Kerrie also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and confidence.
Her approach is practical and direct. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She brings mindfulness tools to help people notice feelings without getting swept up in them. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are used to identify small, doable changes and build momentum.
Sessions focus on clear goals and steps people can use between meetings. Kerrie helps clients name patterns that lead to explosive reactions or long-term resentment. She works on communication strategies that reduce conflict and improve day-to-day interactions.
She also addresses parenting stress, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver strain, and workplace friction. Topics such as codependency, attachment issues, guilt, shame, and isolation are part of the work she offers. Kerrie encourages people to notice strengths they already have and to try practical changes in real life.
Her practice is grounded in short-term techniques alongside attention to bigger life patterns. People leaving sessions often have a small set of actions to try during the week. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Many of Kerrie’s core methods adapt well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors in everyday situations; it helps with anxiety, anger, and mood patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice emotions and bodily cues so people can respond rather than react; it supports stress management and impulse awareness. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and build small steps toward change, which can be useful when someone feels stuck in old patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerrie collaborates with clients to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She will review what’s been tried before, set practical goals, and adjust techniques based on what works for the person over time.
