About Marsha
Marsha Kerr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 25 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, family matters, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Her work also addresses compassion fatigue and issues often faced by women and older adults.
Marsha begins by listening to what the person wants to change or understand. She helps clarify goals when those goals feel unclear. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person. She places practical attention on gratitude and mindfulness as part of day-to-day living.
Her background includes a clinical social work degree from New York University and decades of practice with underserved and disenfranchised populations. That experience is paired with work supporting adults who are looking for greater purpose, contentment, or routine happiness.
In sessions she uses approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused ideas. She also draws on psychodynamic perspectives when helpful to understand patterns that repeat over time.
People who come for help often want straightforward tools for handling stress, clearer thinking about relationships, or practical steps for mood management. Marsha aims to offer clear feedback, concrete coping strategies, and a steady focus on small daily changes that add up over time.
How sessions work
Approaches you may use in online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person's own perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people set and refine goals. This approach is useful for work on relationships, self-esteem, and figuring out what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and step-by-step strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behavior patterns.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience through breathing and simple awareness practices. It is often used to reduce stress and improve daily coping.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. Marsha will help decide which approaches fit the person's goals, preferences, and life demands. That choice is made together and can shift as progress is made.
