About Kery
Kery Silva is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska with five years of clinical experience. She supports people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, and stress. She also works with clients on career concerns, LGBT issues, and coping with life changes.
Kery focuses on practical conversation and clear goals. Sessions are direct and person-centered. She listens to what matters and helps people name small, actionable steps they can try between meetings.
Many clients bring relationship strain related to blended family situations, parenting transitions, or financial stress. Kery talks through these matters in straightforward terms and helps people sort priorities and set boundaries. She offers tools that respond to day-to-day pressures rather than abstract theory.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those methods guide a practical focus on patterns, coping skills, and short-term goals.
Sessions aim to reduce overwhelming moments and to build clearer routines. Kery helps people develop coping strategies for work stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges linked to immigration or veteran status.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters to the client and on building a collaborative working relationship. It helps people clarify values, make decisions, and feel heard while setting practical goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors tied to mood and anxiety. It teaches skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and to test small behavioral changes between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful for people who need concrete tools to tolerate distress and reduce impulsive reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods match their goals and daily life. This is a collaborative process that can shift as needs change.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments during work hours or caregiving responsibilities. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm available options before booking. Online work still focuses on skill practice, short-term goals, and real-life problem solving.
