About Kerline
Kerline Alexis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strains, family concerns, trauma, and issues with intimacy. She also supports people dealing with eating and sleeping problems, career stress, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and coping with life changes including coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Her style is warm and interactive. She emphasizes respect, compassion, and a nonjudgmental attitude. Sessions focus on listening first, then building practical skills to manage emotions and everyday problems.
Kerline blends several approaches to fit each person. She draws on client-centered work that keeps the client’s goals central, cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, and psychodynamic ideas to look at repeated patterns. She also uses dialectical behavior techniques for emotion regulation and motivational interviewing to support change.
Across six years of experience she has worked with people from varied backgrounds and life situations, including those with learning disabilities and chronic illness. That background informs a flexible approach that aims to match strategies to a person’s life and needs. She welcomes English-speaking and international clients.
Her aim in sessions is to help people build coping strategies, make clearer choices, and feel more in control of daily life. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site’s start process to find a time and learn more about how Kerline might help.
Approaches that guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and experience. The therapist listens closely and helps people clarify what matters to them and what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions shape moods. It uses clear, practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication practice.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can fit a lunch break, or remote sessions remove travel time. Choosing a format can help people maintain consistency, practice coping skills between meetings, and apply changes directly to everyday routines.
