About Kerry
Kerry Wischusen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with three years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, grief, and career questions. Kerry also focuses on family of origin issues and attachment-related difficulties when these show up in adult life.
Kerry uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a core framework in sessions. She describes acceptance as a set of practical skills built through presence, nervous-system regulation, and a kinder stance toward difficult thoughts. That means clients practice being more present, learning ways to calm the body when overwhelmed, and noticing internal self-talk without escalating it.
Her background includes mindfulness meditation and yoga practice, which inform how she teaches grounding and attention skills. She also follows current neuroscience research on emotional regulation and behavior change, and draws on that work to explain why certain exercises help.
In sessions Kerry begins by listening closely to a person’s history and daily patterns. She asks about how stress and relationships show up in behavior and in the body. From there she introduces ACT skills and practical practices that can be used between sessions.
People who come to Kerry for anxiety, relationship difficulties, or a lingering sense of disconnection will find a steady focus on clear practices. She encourages small, doable steps to reduce reactivity and increase clarity about values and goals. Scheduling starts by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session.
Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a practical, skills-based approach Kerry uses to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift toward actions that reflect their values. ACT techniques teach presence, clarify what matters, and build small behavioral steps toward those values.Mindfulness-based practices and gentle movement from yoga are used to teach grounding and body-based regulation. These practices help when anxiety or overwhelm shows up in the body and provide simple tools to draw on during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry treats this as a collaborative process, listening first and then suggesting practices based on a person’s goals, daily life, and what feels doable. She checks in regularly to adjust methods and pace so the work fits the client rather than the other way around.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone use mindful practices where they live and work, or choose sessions that do not require video when bandwidth or camera-free time is preferable. Licensed professionals including Kerry can discuss which format will best support your goals during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
