About Kerline

Kerline Alexis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem issues, intimacy-related struggles, eating and sleeping problems, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life adjustments.

Background and approach

She brings six years of clinical experience to her practice and draws on a background that also includes work in mental health, learning disabilities, chronic illness, and both childhood and young adult concerns. Her counseling style is described as warm, interactive, and rooted in respect and compassion.

She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with psychodynamic ideas and integrates approaches such as client-centered therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing to help clients clarify goals and develop practical coping strategies. Kerline aims to create a collaborative space where people can explore underlying patterns while building skills to manage symptoms and navigate transitions.

Kerline’s practice accepts international clients and offers services in English. As a New York-licensed LMHC (NY LMHC 009869), she uses a flexible subscription-based session model that can be adjusted according to location and availability.

Prospective clients can begin by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a brief matching questionnaire to schedule sessions.

Approaches that guide online work and what to expect

Kerline commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to teach practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. She also integrates client-centered methods, which emphasize empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help clients feel heard and to support their own problem-solving and growth. When appropriate, elements of dialectical behavior therapy are incorporated to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful in intense emotional situations.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kerline works collaboratively with each person to review goals, preferences, and life context and then tailors a mix of methods that align with the client’s needs. This ongoing partnership allows adjustments over time so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy with her is available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible for people with busy or changing routines. These options support continued work during life transitions, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and help clients access care from different locations while working with a licensed professional.
