About Kerry
Kerry Branum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 14 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, codependency, ADHD, and parenting challenges. Kerry also supports those coping with grief, trauma, life changes, and career concerns.
Kerry keeps sessions direct and practical. He blends counseling, coaching, and teaching to help people identify strengths and build skills. Sessions often include talking through patterns, practicing new ways of responding, and setting short-term goals to try between meetings.
He uses a mix of therapies to fit the problem at hand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and actions rather than getting stuck on feelings. Attachment-based ideas show up when relationship patterns matter.
Kerry draws on experience in counseling, coaching, and classroom work. He trained at Missouri Baptist University and the University of Mississippi, and has worked with people across many life stages and challenges. That background informs practical tools he shares in sessions.

How sessions work
How Kerry Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Kerry commonly works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking steps toward those values even when feelings are hard; it can help with people-pleasing and motivation. CBT looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.He believes finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or make it simpler to attend when schedules shift. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to virtual meetings, focusing on practical exercises, homework, and tracking progress between sessions.
