About Kery

Kery Silva is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska. She brings five years of clinical experience helping people navigate work challenges, career decisions, and life transitions. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions as well as concerns common in LGBT experiences and workplace wellbeing.

She creates a welcoming space where clients can speak openly. Sessions center on the client's priorities and on clear, real-world steps. Kery aims to help people set goals, try different coping tools, and notice what changes are working.

Her background includes helping people with mood disorders, bipolar conditions, and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses caregiver strain, financial stress, immigration issues, and recovery from substance use. This range informs a flexible, problem-solving approach to everyday struggles.

Kery draws on several therapy methods to guide work in sessions. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Motivational Interviewing to build momentum for change.

People who often connect with her are those wanting practical coaching around careers, coping with major life shifts, or relief from ongoing stress. She works in English and practices in California. To begin, visitors follow the site's Start Therapy flow and schedule a session based on availability.

Therapy approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so the client can clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skill teaching in areas like emotion regulation and distress tolerance with a focus on balancing acceptance and change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and day-to-day challenges and then suggest methods that match those needs. Clients and the therapist adjust methods over time based on what is most useful.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can help plan session lengths and homework that fit a client's daily routine so progress can continue between meetings.
