About Kerline
Kerline Alexis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, and parenting strains. She also supports people facing trauma, coping with life changes, and challenges with self-esteem or intimacy.
She uses a warm, interactive style in sessions. Conversations are respectful and nonjudgmental. Kerline draws on both talk-focused and skills-based methods so people can both understand patterns and practice new responses.
Background and approach
Kerline blends psychodynamic therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques. Psychodynamic work looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Cognitive behavioral strategies focus on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also brings elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when helpful. Those approaches offer tools for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and building motivation for change. Sessions can include learning coping skills and practicing them between meetings.
With six years of experience, Kerline has worked with people from diverse backgrounds and life situations. She speaks English and accepts international clients. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs.

How Kerline’s Approaches Work Online
Kerline often blends cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in ways that suit the issue at hand. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for tolerating strong emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and regulating impulses.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kerline will discuss goals, try methods that match a person's needs, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. That means clients can expect a mix of conversation, skill practice, and check-ins to see what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be an option when bandwidth is low or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, tracking skills between sessions, or getting feedback without scheduling a full call. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping a consistent therapeutic relationship.
