About Kerri
LMHC in Hawaii with 12 years of experience, Kerri Brown helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationships, and life changes. She combines practical strategies with client-centered care to help clients set clear goals and move forward. Kerri uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.
Kerri earned a master’s degree in Counselor Education from the University of Alaska, Anchorage. She began working in mental health in 2007 and has experience in inpatient teen treatment, group homes for adults, community support for young adults involved with the justice system, and school-based behavioral health. That variety informs how she approaches different concerns in everyday terms.
In session she helps people notice automatic thoughts and emotions and then unpack those reactions. She teaches CBT and mindfulness strategies to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors that get in the way of goals. She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify concrete next steps and build momentum through small, practical actions.
Kerri prioritizes a respectful therapeutic relationship where people can speak honestly. She supports clients who want to improve self-esteem, work through grief, address addictions, explore life purpose, or strengthen intimacy and parenting approaches. Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to how habits and thoughts affect daily life.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can state their concerns and priorities in their own words. It helps when someone wants to be heard and to make sense of their feelings before choosing steps to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to identify automatic thoughts and test them against real-life evidence. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns of behavior that interfere with daily life because it breaks problems into clear, manageable parts.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps and what can be done differently tomorrow. It helps clients build momentum through concrete actions rather than long explanations.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person, and adjust plans based on what works. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to use and how to pace the work.
Confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements that suit daily life, such as timing and a preferred session length.
