More about Kerline
- 11 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW
As a licensed therapist in Texas, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life's complex emotional landscapes. My professional journey has been dedicated to helping clients address challenges like depression, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem issues. I have a deep understanding of the unique struggles that come with isolation, life transitions, and finding personal purpose.
My therapeutic approach centers on creating a compassionate, collaborative space where clients can explore their experiences and develop meaningful coping strategies. I'm particularly passionate about helping individuals work through feelings of guilt, shame, and panic, and supporting them as they rediscover their inner strength and resilience.
With over a decade of clinical experience, I bring a nuanced, empathetic perspective to our work together. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering guidance and support as you move toward healing, self-understanding, and personal growth. I believe that every individual has the capacity to transform their challenges into opportunities for profound personal development.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
