About Jeri
Jeri Carter is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with five years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She works with individuals who feel stuck by worry, panic, low mood, or trouble managing anger. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps they can use between sessions.
Jeri emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own lives. She helps people notice strengths they already have and uses those strengths to meet change. Conversations in sessions are straightforward and goal directed, with an emphasis on what feels doable day to day.
Her background includes work with trauma, abuse, and depressive symptoms, alongside concerns like low self-esteem, codependency, and relationship communication problems. She has supported people facing issues such as avoidance, impulsivity, isolation, and guilt or shame. Jeri also lists experience with veteran and armed forces issues and with panic disorder and panic attacks.
Her approach aims to balance understanding past experiences with building skills for current challenges. She encourages small experiments and practical strategies that can reduce distress and improve functioning. Jeri offers a respectful, supportive space to try out new ways of coping.
To get started she asks people to think about what they want to change and what an improved week might look like. That helps guide initial sessions and shape a plan that fits each person’s life and goals.
Evidence-based techniques and online care that fit daily life
Jeri uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on teaching concrete skills and changing patterns that keep people stuck. One common approach helps people learn breathing and grounding strategies, alongside short behavioral steps, to reduce the sudden rise of panic and extreme anxiety. Another approach looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and helps people test new ways of responding to stress and low mood, often by setting small, achievable experiments between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jeri will discuss options with each person, consider their goals and daily routines, and adjust strategies as progress and needs become clearer. Together they decide which techniques feel most practical and helpful for the situation.
