About
As a lesbian deeply committed to protecting equal rights for women, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community, I strive to create a space where every client feels seen, valued, and safe.
I’m Kerri Kenel, a Licensed Master Social Worker with 15 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in supporting clients through anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, chronic pain, and life transitions. With a compassionate and down-to-earth approach, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel understood, respected, and empowered to heal.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Grand Valley State University. My practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, family and couples therapy, and parenting support, all tailored to meet each client’s unique needs.
I know seeking therapy takes courage, and I honor that step with warmth, humor, and empathy. My goal is to help clients feel safe, respected, and truly heard. If you’re considering therapy for support, healing, or growth, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

My go-to approach for treating anxiety is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I find the best benefit in CBT because it helps to change thinking patterns and negative beliefs. It also helps with understanding how thoughts, feelings and actions are all connected. Exposure Therapy and creating an exposure hierarchy can also be very helpful.
I teach the following tools in anxiety therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in anxiety therapy when they have some coping skills that are working for them to manage their symptoms.
Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy with journaling, deep breathing, keeping a thought/mood log, decatastrophizing exercises, reaching out to informal supports and utilizing other coping skills learned in therapy. There are also CBT and relaxation apps that can be used for exercises.
To prepare for your first anxiety therapy session, clients can begin to track their mood or anxious thoughts and bring the log to therapy. This will help with determining current behaviors and thought patterns. This will also help with creating a treatment plan.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in West Bloomfield, MI can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks West Bloomfield therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
Are there certain activities or events that make you uncomfortable? For example, social situations or those in which you’re the center of attention. Do you worry excessively about the future? Say, whether or not you’ll make it to work on time or if your husband will remember to pick up the kids from school. If so, you might have anxiety, just like millions of others around the world.
