Practical therapy for anxiety and trauma

About Keri-Anne

Keri-Anne Colberg helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and issues related to trauma and abuse. She also supports those facing challenges with self-esteem, bipolar mood patterns, and LGBT-related concerns.

Background and approach

Keri-Anne is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with 15 years of clinical work. Keri-Anne aims for plain conversation and clear goals in sessions.

She listens first, then works with each person to shape a plan that fits their life. Sessions focus on practical steps, skill building, and regular check-ins to track progress.

Her approach is grounded in techniques that have research support, applied in ways that make sense day to day. She adapts pacing and tools to match how someone prefers to work - more problem-solving, more emotional processing, or a mix of both.

The goal is steady improvement, not quick fixes. People come to Keri-Anne for many issues beyond anxiety and trauma.

She supports those dealing with abandonment wounds, body image concerns, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. She also helps with panic attacks, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose.

Keri-Anne describes therapy as a collaborative process. She explains options clearly and invites feedback so the plan stays relevant.

Sessions are offered in English and provided through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Many of the approaches Keri-Anne draws on are evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional understanding. One common option emphasizes learning concrete coping skills for anxiety and panic - breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure - to reduce intense symptoms and build confidence. Another approach centers on processing trauma and abuse through paced storytelling and emotion regulation skills to help reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Keri-Anne will talk with each person about their goals, current challenges, and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays useful and focused on what matters most to the client.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins or written reflection, and text-based messaging can help with short updates or between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
