Kerry Dzikiewicz

Kerry Dzikiewicz is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life changes. She focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life easier. Kerry aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and find clearer ways forward.

She uses straightforward approaches to set goals and notice patterns that keep problems stuck. Kerry blends tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people change unhelpful habits and act in line with their values. Motivational interviewing is part of her work when people want help finding motivation for change.

Sessions are conversational and action-oriented. Kerry listens for what matters most, then suggests small experiments and skills to try between meetings. She pays attention to how stress, sleep, and relationships affect mood and behavior, and tailors practical strategies to each person’s situation.

With five years of experience, Kerry has worked with concerns ranging from grief and trauma to addiction and ADHD. Her practice also addresses issues such as parenting stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and questions of life purpose. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Based in Rhode Island, Kerry supports people who want a collaborative, down-to-earth approach to change. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anxiety, anger, and life transitions when someone wants clearer direction in day-to-day life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It often helps with stress, sleep problems, mood, and managing symptoms of depression or anxiety.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and building motivation in a respectful way. It pairs well with goal-focused work around addiction, career shifts, or health habits.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods match their goals and preferences. That process includes checking in about what feels useful and adjusting techniques over time.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it easier to keep momentum on goals when sessions fit more naturally into their schedules.
