About Kerry
Kerry Maldiner is a California LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 30 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, and depression. Kerry works with people who are struggling with communication problems, separation and divorce, abandonment, post-traumatic stress, life purpose, and women’s issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Kerry frames sessions as practical conversations. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different ways of relating and coping. Kerry adapts the pace and topics to what each person brings to the room rather than following a fixed script.
Her work often includes focused problem-solving around daily stress and anxiety. For relationship and family concerns she helps clients identify communication habits and small changes that reduce conflict. When trauma or past abuse is present, Kerry pays attention to safety and pacing so people can process hard memories without becoming overwhelmed.
Kerry also supports people facing life transitions such as divorce or shifting family roles. She helps clarify priorities and set manageable next steps. The aim is to make progress in ways that fit each person’s life and obligations.
To begin she asks people to describe their main concerns and goals. That information guides an initial plan and the topics for early sessions. Kerry uses straightforward language and practical exercises to help clients test new behaviors between meetings.

How Kerry’s approaches translate to online work
Online sessions will draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete change. One common approach is structured problem-solving, which breaks down stressors into manageable steps and tests new behaviors between sessions. This helps with anxiety, everyday stress, and practical relationship issues. Another approach is trauma-informed pacing, which proceeds slowly and monitors reactions so memories can be addressed without overwhelming the person. That method is helpful for post-traumatic stress and abuse recovery.Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will review your concerns and goals, then suggest methods to try. If an approach doesn’t feel right, Kerry will adapt the plan and introduce alternatives based on what works for you.
Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or regular meetings around work or family commitments. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available, and expect conversations and exercises similar to in-person work adapted for a remote setting.
