Marsha Kerr , LCSW

Marsha Kerr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience helping adults handle stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and a range of mood and relationship concerns. She pays attention to what you want from therapy and works with you to choose practical steps that fit your life. Her work also addresses women's issues and challenges like compassion fatigue and self-esteem struggles.

She begins by listening to your priorities and clarifying goals together. Sessions focus on everyday changes you can make, building coping skills, and noticing patterns that get in the way. Marsha uses plain language and keeps the process collaborative so people feel understood and involved in decisions about their care.

Her background includes a clinical social work degree from New York University and many years serving underserved and disenfranchised groups, as well as adults trying to find more purpose and satisfaction in daily life. That experience informs a flexible, person-focused style rather than rigid rules.

In sessions she emphasizes mindfulness and gratitude as practical tools for managing mood and stress. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and psychodynamic ideas to look at long-running patterns. Solution-focused techniques help set achievable steps when people feel stuck.

Marsha works from Florida and conducts sessions in English. She aims to help people build more rewarding daily routines and clearer direction, one manageable step at a time.

Approaches for online care and practical steps

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's experience and goals. It involves listening without judgment and helping people decide what they want from therapy, which works well for stress, life transitions, and questions about purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to find and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and mood challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs and try different methods as appropriate, making decisions together about what to keep or change. That collaborative process helps make therapy useful and focused on real goals.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is good for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support, and all formats can be mixed to match a person’s schedule. These options make it easier to have regular sessions and to practice skills between meetings.
