About Kerith
Kerith Edwards is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, trauma and depression. She draws on ten years of counseling experience to help people facing hard life changes and intense emotions. Her tone is straightforward and calm, aiming to make things feel manageable even when a parent is reading on a phone.
Kerith works with concerns tied to relationships and family history, including abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, and family of origin issues.
Background and approach
She also supports men dealing with fatherhood concerns, isolation, guilt, and shame. Sessions cover communication and commitment problems, control issues, dissociation, and the fallout of divorce and separation. In the counseling space she emphasizes the working relationship as a source of change.
Conversations focus on understanding patterns and trying small shifts that can reduce distress. She uses practical techniques drawn from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and build skills. Clients can expect clear goals and steady pacing.
Kerith helps people build better coping tools and strengthen relationships with themselves and others. Progress is tracked in brief, practical steps so change feels real and measurable. Kerith practices from Hawaii and provides services in English.
She offers a mix of session formats to fit busy schedules, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to connect people with a plan and schedule sessions.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to her work. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective ways of coping. This helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress by giving concrete tools to manage difficult moments. Another approach emphasizes exploring attachment and relationship patterns rooted in family history to reduce repeated conflict and feelings of abandonment; this helps people understand why they react a certain way and try different responses.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let conversations feel face to face while still saving commute time. Phone sessions and live chat are useful when bandwidth or screen time is limited, and text-based messaging supports quick check-ins and ongoing practice between sessions. These options offer flexibility so work on stress, grief, or relationship patterns can continue from different places and schedules.
