About Kerri
Kerri Fisher is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Florida and Indiana with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults, adolescents, and children on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and parenting concerns.
Kerri uses straightforward therapeutic methods rather than jargon. She leans on client-centered listening to understand what matters most to each person. She also draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage intense emotions and improve coping.
Sessions focus on practical steps that fit daily life. She helps people build routines for sleeping and eating, practice communication skills, and address patterns like codependency or difficulty with commitment. She also supports people navigating adoption and foster care issues or the fallout from domestic violence and other traumatic events.
Kerri describes counseling as a partnership. She works with clients to set clear goals, try small experiments between sessions, and track progress. Work can include short-term solution-focused plans or longer-term trauma work depending on needs.
People often come for help with parenting stress, relationship strain, career setbacks, or persistent mood and attention problems. Kerri aims to help people find clearer choices and calmer responses so day-to-day life becomes more manageable.
How sessions work
How Kerri blends approaches in online work
Client-centered therapy starts by listening to what matters most to the person. The therapist reflects back concerns and priorities so goals emerge from the client's own values rather than a preset plan. This approach helps when someone feels unheard or is unsure what to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and to try alternative responses. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and behavior patterns that affect daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, focuses on managing intense emotions and improving coping skills. It teaches practical techniques like distress tolerance and emotion regulation that people can use during stressful moments. DBT tools are helpful for strong mood swings, anger, or impulsive behavior.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean a short, solution-focused plan for a specific problem or a longer course of CBT and DBT skills practice.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness or skills practice in the settings where they live and parent.
