Kerline Alexis , LMHC

Kerline Alexis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with eating or sleeping struggles, career shifts, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Her approach is warm and interactive and she aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space for talking about hard things.

Kerline blends practical talk therapy with reflective work. She uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify thought and behavior patterns that get in the way. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current reactions. This mix helps people learn new coping skills and make different choices in daily life.

Sessions are collaborative and focused on your goals. Conversations tend to be direct but compassionate, with tools and homework when useful. She also uses elements from dialectical behavior therapy to build emotional regulation and from motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck.

Kerline has six years of experience working with a wide range of life circumstances, including learning disabilities, chronic illness, and multicultural concerns. Her background includes helping people across many stages of life and from diverse cultural backgrounds.

She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair you and then you can schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How Kerline’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Kerline commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and replacing them with concrete behavioral strategies, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and coping skills. Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that come from past experience and how they show up now, which can help people understand relationship and attachment issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Kerline works collaboratively with each person to figure out which methods match their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so sessions stay relevant to what the person needs in the moment.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you keep face-to-face interaction without commuting. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief conversations into a busy day or to process thoughts between sessions. These options aim to make consistent care more flexible and accessible for people juggling work, family, and other commitments.
