How Kerre’s approaches work online
Kerre draws on Narrative therapy to help people examine and rewrite the stories they tell about themselves, which can shift how they cope with problems like anxiety, grief, or low self-esteem. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and teach practical ways to act on those values even when emotions are difficult. Attachment-Based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions, useful for intimacy and communication struggles.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Kerre will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques as progress unfolds, and checks in regularly to make sure the work still fits.
Online therapy with Kerre is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for full discussions and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging options allow brief check-ins or flexible communication outside of scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
