Marsha Kerr, LCSW

Marsha Kerr is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and helps people clarify what they want from therapy. She listens closely, asks practical questions, and works together with clients to set achievable goals.

Her approach is straightforward and adaptable. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes. She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness methods to build self-awareness and steady daily routines.

Marsha has a background in clinical social work from New York University and many years working with underserved and disenfranchised groups. She has also supported adults dealing with life purpose, mood challenges, and relationship strain. That experience informs a down-to-earth style and practical focus.

In sessions she emphasizes gratitude, present-moment awareness, and realistic steps toward improvement. Conversations tend to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Marsha aims to help people manage stress, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and changes that come with aging or life transitions.

People who work with her can expect clear goals, simple skills to practice between meetings, and a focus on what helps in daily life. Marsha welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into each person's routine and priorities.

How Marsha’s Approaches Fit Online Therapy

Marsha commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques when working with online clients. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help people feel steadier in daily life.

She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. In the first sessions she will listen to your goals, try out methods that match those aims, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. The process is paced to your needs and preferences so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and more nuanced conversation, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, skill coaching between sessions, or when writing helps you process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work between appointments.
