Dr. Zerka draws on his life experience as a man of color and as someone who is neurodivergent. He notes particular experience supporting people who are neurodivergent or autistic, student-athletes, and people of color. That lived perspective informs how he talks about behavior, attention, work functioning, and relationships.
In sessions he can help people who want explanations for their behavior, strategies for managing attention or mood, and practical steps for improving interpersonal skills. He combines conversational, coaching, and therapeutic methods to help with daily functioning and coping during life changes.
Outside of work he mentions interests that include pickup basketball, weightlifting, yoga, reading, and streaming comedies. He also hosts a podcast that he references as part of his public work and voice.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the individual brings. The therapist prioritizes understanding a person's perspective and uses that to guide conversation and goals. It is useful when someone wants to talk through life choices, relationships, and identity concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions include noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical exercises to change behavior. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related routines.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help with intense reactions, emotion regulation, and problems with relationships and impulsive behavior.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist work together to pick techniques that fit personal needs and preferences.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific online delivery options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone join from a quieter spot, avoid needing to be on camera for every meeting, or shift session timing to fit a break at work. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered work to the online setting while keeping the focus on practical skills and problem solving.
