Marsha Kerr, LCSW

Marsha Kerr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, or trauma and abuse. She focuses on the person in front of her and on practical steps that make daily life more manageable. Marsha listens first and helps people clarify goals or figure out what they want from therapy.

Her approach is collaborative and plainspoken. Sessions often begin with where someone is right now and what feels most urgent. She uses tools from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns and try out different responses. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused conversations are often woven in to support clearer decision making.

Marsha trained in clinical social work at New York University and has spent much of her career working with underserved and disenfranchised adults. She also supports people who are searching for purpose, dealing with midlife transitions, or facing challenges linked to aging, codependency, or chronic mood concerns.

In the therapy room she emphasizes gratitude, simple daily practices, and practical coping skills that can be used between sessions. Marsha aims to help clients build steadier routines, reduce distressing symptoms, and find clearer direction in life.

She practices in Florida and offers services in English. If you want to start, she guides people through identifying goals and choosing small steps to try between sessions.

How Marsha’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely, and helps people set their own goals. This approach supports those who need judgment-free space to sort out feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when people want concrete tools to try between sessions.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize client-centered listening, CBT skill building, mindfulness practices, or a mix of methods as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day's rhythm. It also makes it possible to keep continuity of care during moves or life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt their methods to a remote setting while focusing on practical skills, clearer thinking, and steady daily habits.
