About Gerri
She uses a flexible style that follows the client's needs. Sessions can focus on what happened in the past, what is happening now, or on planning for the future. Gerri aims to sit alongside the person she sees, offering guidance while letting them lead the direction of work.
Her clinical approach draws on methods such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, existential questions, and mindfulness practices. That mix allows for practical tools like coping skills, behavior change strategies, and exercises to increase awareness and values-based choices.
Gerri has six years of overall experience working in a variety of settings, including individual and group work. She describes counseling as a shared process and acknowledges it can feel hard or uncomfortable at times. When that happens, she stays present and supportive.
People who choose Gerri often want steady guidance while they sort out emotions, make changes, or rebuild after difficult events. She encourages clients to try things between sessions and to use therapy as a space for honest, direct work.

How these approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. This can help with stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches concrete skills to change them, which is often useful for anxiety, depression, and many forms of addiction. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication to reduce intense reactions and improve coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to use. That collaborative process makes it easier to try new skills and adjust direction as needed.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm which formats are available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone avoid being on camera when they prefer audio only. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT techniques for the online setting so the work stays focused on daily challenges and practical change.
