About Kerry

Kerry Dzikiewicz is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Rhode Island who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, career challenges, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings five years of clinical experience to work that emphasizes practical coping skills alongside personal insight, supporting clients through issues such as depression, grief, trauma, addiction, parenting struggles, sleep problems, and attention-related difficulties. Her style centers on creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and emotions openly.

Kerry integrates evidence-based tools including cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based strategies, while also drawing on client-centered and narrative approaches to tailor work to each person's priorities. Motivational interviewing is used when change feels difficult or stalled.

Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and a focus on strengths and values as part of the therapeutic process. Kerry currently offers morning availability and provides sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging for people located in Rhode Island.

Her license is listed as RI LMHC MHC01286.

Online approaches that combine skills and values

Kerry commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and learn practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, and related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her toolkit, encouraging clients to clarify values and build psychological flexibility through mindfulness and committed action. Client-Centered Therapy supports this work by prioritizing empathic listening and collaboration so people feel heard as they explore change.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Kerry works with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and immediate needs, adjusting plans over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions allow for greater flexibility in scheduling and make it easier to fit therapy into busy mornings or different routines. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, enabling clients to choose the format that feels most accessible and useful for their situation.
