About Keri-Anne

Keri-Anne Colberg is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues around self esteem. She works with people navigating LGBTQ+ related concerns and those managing bipolar mood patterns. Her approach aims to be respectful, sensitive, and compassionate for each person who reaches out.

For more than 15 years Keri-Anne has guided people through practical steps to feel steadier and more confident. Sessions focus on clear goals, manageable strategies, and small changes that add up. She adapts the conversation and plan to fit each person’s needs rather than using the same method for everyone.

Common topics include handling panic and anxiety, coping with shame or guilt, improving communication, and working through past trauma. She also helps with issues like body image, feelings of abandonment, caregiver stress, and managing chronic illness or pain.

Keri-Anne emphasizes collaboration in the room. She listens first, then suggests tools and practices to try between sessions. That might include breathing or grounding skills, thought-challenging exercises, or steps to rebuild self worth.

Her practice is based in California and she holds a California licensed marriage and family therapist credential, LMFT. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.

Approaches to building confidence and easing anxiety online

Many evidence-based techniques focus on skills people can practice between sessions. Cognitive approaches help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternative, more balanced thoughts; this can reduce anxiety and improve self esteem. Trauma-informed techniques center on grounding and pacing so memories or strong reactions feel more manageable and less overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking what helps, adjusting strategies, and deciding which tools to keep using over time.

Session format options are not listed in the biography, so readers should confirm current session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing commute time, allowing sessions during a lunch break or between errands, and letting people use shorter check-ins when that suits their schedule. Licensed professionals can still guide skill practice, set goals, and review progress effectively through remote sessions, helping clients carry improvements into everyday routines.
