About Kery
Kery Silva is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with five years of clinical experience. She also holds a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) credential in Nebraska. Her practice focuses on concerns such as LGBT issues, career stress, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, anxiety, mood disorders, addictions, and family-related stresses.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. Kery listens to what is happening now, then helps people set small, manageable steps that fit daily life. Sessions tend to focus on problem solving, skill building, and clearer decisions rather than long theoretical discussion.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. That mix is used to address symptoms like anxiety, depression, bipolar mood swings, and stress related to work or money. She also supports people dealing with post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood shifts, and substance use concerns.
Kery pays attention to practical pressures such as workplace dynamics, caregiver strain, blended family issues, immigration challenges, and concerns tied to military life. She also has experience with autism spectrum traits, avoidant personality patterns, visual impairment considerations, and self-harm risk factors.
Sessions are conducted in English and are shaped around the client’s goals. Costs vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on listening and clarifying what matters to the client. Online sessions can use this to set realistic goals and to check progress in short, focused conversations.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior and try small experiments to change them. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress because it emphasizes concrete skills and practice between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can be practiced in step-by-step exercises and built into daily routines to reduce crisis moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods suit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as progress is assessed and goals change.
The therapist's original profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or caregiving schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep consistency with appointments and apply skills between sessions.
