Kerry Dzikiewicz , LMHC

Kerry Dzikiewicz is a Rhode Island licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She supports clients facing career changes, grief, trauma, ADHD, and issues related to self-esteem and addictions. Kerry also addresses parenting concerns, sleep problems, and challenges linked to LGBT identity and life transitions.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She listens first, then works with people to set clear goals. Sessions aim to build practical skills that make daily life easier. Kerry uses evidence-informed methods to help clients notice patterns and try new ways of coping.

In sessions she blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered talking. This mix helps people clarify values, change unhelpful thoughts, and feel heard. She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative methods when they fit the client's goals.

Kerry has five years of counseling experience and brings a calm, steady style. She creates a warm space where real concerns are named and small steps are practiced. Her work often focuses on improving communication, managing mood swings, and restoring sleep rhythms.

People describe starting by naming one problem and leaving with a simple plan. Kerry helps break larger challenges into manageable actions. That makes therapy feel less overwhelming and more useful day to day.

Approaches used online and how they help

A few of Kerry's primary approaches are explained simply so people know what to expect. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values; it can help when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed by anxiety or low mood.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce unhelpful thinking and improve daily routines such as sleep and activity.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, giving people space to tell their story and find their own solutions with support rather than instruction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process helps adapt techniques over time so clients get what they need from sessions.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this practice. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible options for brief supportive exchanges or between-session contact. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to continue work after a move or schedule change.
