About Kerrie
Kerrie Pelan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New York. She uses clear, practical talk to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and workplace struggles. Kerrie emphasizes each person's strengths and works with clients to build motivation and confidence. She encourages small, manageable steps toward change and acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage.
Kerrie draws on a mix of goal-focused methods to keep sessions practical. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Her approach is collaborative. Sessions focus on what the client wants to improve, whether that is coping with grief, parenting stress, or relationship concerns. Kerrie also addresses issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue in the context of the client's goals.
Clients who have adoption and foster care backgrounds, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, or codependency often look at patterns that affect daily life and relationships. Communication problems, control issues, guilt, and isolation are discussed in simple, practical ways that fit into a person’s routine.
Kerrie aims to help people build self-love, find purpose, and improve workplace wellbeing. With three years of clinical experience, she focuses on concrete tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for tackling stress and anxiety by identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments to test new patterns. Mindfulness Therapy is about learning simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm during stressful moments. These methods can be used together to address workplace strain, mood symptoms, and day-to-day coping challenges.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kerrie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs change.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and remove travel time that competes with work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and mindfulness exercises to remote sessions so tools are practical and usable between appointments.
