Kerry Dzikiewicz

Kerry Dzikiewicz is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She supports clients facing relationship strain, career uncertainty, grief, addiction concerns, and sleep difficulties. Kerry aims to make the first steps toward change feel less overwhelming and more doable.

She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Kerry creates an open space where people can say what they are thinking and feeling without judgment. She listens, asks clear questions, and works with each person to set practical goals they can try between meetings.

Her approach draws on methods that help people notice what matters, change unhelpful thinking, and build new habits. Sessions may include talking through problems, practicing small behavior changes, and reflecting on life stories to find new meaning. Kerry also uses coaching-style prompts to support motivation and next steps.

Kerry has five years of clinical experience as an LMHC in Rhode Island. She has assisted people with caregiving stress, chronic illness, adoption and foster care issues, first responder stress, and end-of-life concerns among other topics. She is comfortable addressing issues faced by LGBTQ individuals and people living with intellectual or developmental challenges.

To begin, a short questionnaire helps match goals and logistics, and then sessions are scheduled according to availability. Kerry mentions she currently has morning availability and will work with clients to find appointment times that fit their routines.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Many clients benefit from learning practical ways to notice what matters and act on it. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people recognize unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that connect with their values, which can be useful for anxiety, grief, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain symptoms like depression, insomnia, or persistent worry. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, respectful relationship where the client’s experience guides the work and personal insight grows.

Kerry treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This allows the therapist and client to find the best mix of approaches over time.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists can use these sessions to teach coping skills, review homework, and support caregiving or end-of-life planning in ways that fit day-to-day routines.
