Kerry Dzikiewicz, LMHC

Kerry Dzikiewicz is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. She also supports clients facing career challenges, addiction concerns, caregiving stress, and issues related to aging and geriatric matters. Kerry aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

Her style is straightforward and warm. She creates a calm space where people can say what they really mean. Conversations focus on what is most important to the client and on practical ways to move forward.

Kerry uses a mix of approaches to meet each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral work to clarify thinking patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients find values and take meaningful action. Motivational Interviewing can help when change feels overwhelming.

Sessions often include goal-setting, practical exercises, and real-world steps to try between meetings. Kerry listens for strengths and builds small, reachable plans that fit everyday life. She encourages people to notice what works and adjust when needed.

With five years of clinical experience in Rhode Island, Kerry combines an empathetic presence with clear, doable tools. She welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into a client’s routine and what to expect in early meetings.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them, then take small, values-driven actions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore concerns at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kerry will talk with each person about goals and preferences and combine methods that fit those aims. Together they’ll try things, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy feels useful and practical.

Session format details are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works best. They can also let people use video or phone depending on bandwidth, comfort with being on camera, or the need for a quicker conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt tools from ACT, Client-Centered work, and CBT to suit online meetings and everyday schedules.
