About Kerri-
Kerri-Ann Wilson-Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She works with clients who are coping with trauma, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and the everyday pressures of family life. Her tone in sessions is practical and direct, aimed at making change feel possible and manageable.
Kerri-Ann uses clear, evidence-informed tools rather than medical jargon. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills such as emotion regulation and distress tolerance to help people respond to strong feelings. Mindfulness and relaxation techniques are woven into her work to support self-care. She brings nine years of clinical experience in mental health and outpatient settings.
Her background includes social work and counseling study in Jamaica, and she practices in New Jersey as an LPC. That mix of experience shapes a practical, detail-oriented approach to care. In a typical session she helps clients set clear goals, try small behavioral experiments, and learn coping skills they can use at home.
Sessions focus on what is happening now and on steps people can take between meetings to feel better. Kerri-Ann emphasizes collaboration and respect. She works with each person to find strategies that fit their life and priorities, and she pays attention to how parenting and family demands shape stress and mental health.

Using CBT and DBT Skills Online
Kerri-Ann often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thoughts and behaviors that increase stress or worsen mood. CBT sessions usually involve setting goals, trying small behavior changes, and practicing new thinking patterns to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT strategies are useful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts make it hard to respond calmly or solve problems effectively.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT skills, or a mix will best match their goals and day-to-day needs. That decision is revisited as progress is made so plans can change if something isn’t working.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face for skills practice and demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, between-session coaching, or tracking progress without scheduling a full call. These options let people fit counseling into busy family and work routines.
