About Marsha
Marsha Kerr is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 25 years in mental health practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship issues, grief, self-esteem struggles, and challenges related to life changes. Her focus includes LGBT concerns, compassion fatigue, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.
Marsha centers sessions on the person rather than on a single theoretical framework. She helps clients clarify their goals and supports them as those goals are refined. Conversations are collaborative and aimed at practical steps for daily life.
Her training includes a clinical social work degree from New York University and long experience across settings. She has spent much of her career helping underserved and disenfranchised people, while also working with adults looking for greater purpose and fulfillment.
In sessions she often brings mindfulness practices and gratitude work into therapy alongside cognitive and psychodynamic ideas. She uses Client-Centered Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy when those fit a persons goals. The work can include skill building for coping, communication, and emotional regulation.
Marsha describes treatment as collaborative and attentive to what a client wants to accomplish. People who come to her can expect straightforward conversation about next steps, practical tools to try between sessions, and regular review of progress toward stated goals.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a persons own goals. Online sessions using this approach usually center on open conversation and clarifying what the client wants to change or reach. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises. Online CBT often includes agreed homework, tracking thoughts, and short skill sessions to practice between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention and breathing practices into everyday routines to manage stress and mood swings; these exercises can be guided in a video or phone session.Choosing which approach to use is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide what methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans may combine elements from different approaches and will be reviewed as the work progresses.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in meetings when schedules demand it. Licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to remote sessions so clients can work on changes between meetings.
