Kerline Alexis, LMHC

Kerline Alexis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and aging and geriatric issues. She also supports people dealing with eating and sleeping difficulties, career transitions, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes.

Her style is warm and interactive. She aims to listen without judgment and to treat each person with respect and compassion. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that can be used between meetings.

Kerline draws on a mix of clinical approaches. She blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and psychodynamic ideas. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when they fit a person’s needs.

In practice she helps people learn concrete coping skills, rethink unhelpful patterns, and understand how past experiences affect current feelings. Conversations are collaborative - the person and Kerline decide together which strategies to try.

She has six years of experience in mental health work and has supported people from varied backgrounds and life situations. Kerline’s background includes work related to learning disabilities, chronic illness, and stages of life from childhood concerns through young adult transitions. She frames therapy as a partnership focused on steady, manageable change.

How Kerline’s approaches translate to online work

Kerline often uses client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered work focuses on empathetic listening and helping people feel heard so they can set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete tools to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and daily stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kerline will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend ways of working that fit. That collaborative process helps shape which techniques are used and how sessions proceed.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit a meeting into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online counseling can make it easier to try consistent appointments during life transitions and caregiving periods, and it lets therapists focus on skills, coping strategies, and problem-solving in ways that match everyday routines.
