About Kery
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with five years of clinical practice, Kery Silva focuses on mood, anxiety, addiction, and life-change concerns. She lists work with LGBT issues, career challenges, coaching, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, depression, and family matters. Kery also notes additional focus areas such as autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality, caregiver stress, substance use, immigration and veteran issues, money concerns, PTSD, seasonal affective disorder, self-harm, visual impairment, and workplace problems.
Kery uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a collaborative relationship and let the person's priorities guide sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used for emotion regulation and coping skills, while Motivational Interviewing helps with change ambivalence. Solution-Focused Therapy supports short-term, goal-oriented work.
Her style emphasizes straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions include talking through current problems, setting specific goals, and practicing skills between meetings. Kery frames coaching and clinical work as complementary when appropriate.
The first meeting is likely to clarify concerns, set goals, and agree on a plan. She aims to make therapy understandable and focused on what the client wants to achieve. Kery invites people to discuss work stress, identity questions, mood shifts, or substance concerns without judgement.
For scheduling, the site process asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. In practice this means sessions begin by asking what matters most and shaping work around those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can include reviewing thought records, role plays, and setting small experiments to try between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. Those skills can be taught, practiced, and reviewed during remote appointments.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kery will help clients choose or combine methods based on their goals and how they prefer to work. That collaborative process may include adjusting techniques if something is not helpful.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes skills practice and homework review straightforward, since worksheets and links can be shared during or between sessions.
