About Kerry

Kerry Adamek is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, bipolar disorder, and depression, helping people sort through practical problems and find manageable ways forward.

Kerry works from the view that clients know their own stories and strengths. He listens without judgment and helps people notice what is getting in the way of day-to-day functioning. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable changes rather than long lists of theory.

He uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people shift unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods are brought in when someone needs concrete steps to reduce addictive behavior or to build new habits.

Many people come to him with family stress, divorce and separation issues, or blended family challenges. He supports people who are dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, or problems that come with substance use. Kerry also has experience supporting concerns related to autism and personality differences.

Sessions are practical and straightforward. Kerry will help identify small experiments to try between meetings. He encourages checking progress regularly and adjusting the plan when needed.

How Kerry’s approaches work for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and the stress of changing family roles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood problems, and impulsive or addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. He treats the choice of tools as collaborative and will adjust the plan based on what is or isn’t working.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or removing the need to be on camera for every appointment. These practical benefits can help people keep regular contact with a licensed professional while they work on blended family issues, addiction reduction, or anxiety management.
