About Jean

Dr. Jean Kerry is a licensed marriage and family therapist with two decades of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and struggles with self-esteem.

She draws on practical tools to help clients make steady changes in daily life. Her approach centers on listening first. She uses client-centered methods to understand each person’s story and priorities.

That means sessions begin with what matters most to the client and move at a realistic pace.

Background and approach

Dr. Kerry blends cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. She helps people test new behaviors, practice coping skills, and measure small wins over time.

Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. Hypnotherapy is also part of the toolbox she offers. When appropriate, it can support relaxation and reorienting habits that maintain problems like chronic stress or pain.

Emotion-focused ideas guide work on relationship patterns and deeper feelings about loss or abandonment. In sessions she focuses on clear, simple steps clients can use between meetings. People leave with practical exercises, communication strategies, and ways to tackle workplace and caregiving strain.

The emphasis is on steady progress, not overnight fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Hypnotherapy is used to promote deep relaxation and to shift patterns that keep stress or pain active. It can be paired with other work to support habit change and reduce physiological tension. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s goals and creating a safe space to talk through difficult decisions and feelings.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build new coping behaviors for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which methods fit best for the client's situation and goals.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversations and guided exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when writing about an issue helps clarify thinking. These options make it easier to schedule regular work and keep momentum between meetings.
