Marsha Kerr

Marsha Kerr is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and major life changes. She centers sessions on each person's goals and priorities, listening carefully and collaborating to find realistic next steps. Marsha emphasizes everyday strategies that can make life feel more manageable.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns of thinking and try small, doable changes. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to build calm and attention for daily life.

Marsha trained in clinical social work at New York University and has spent much of her career supporting people who have been underserved or disenfranchised. She also works with adults facing midlife transitions, aging concerns, and questions about life purpose. Her experience includes helping people cope with compassion fatigue and the emotional toll of caregiving.

Sessions aim to identify clear goals and simple steps toward them. Conversations move at a practical pace and often include exercises to try between meetings. Marsha encourages gratitude and small daily practices that add up over time.

She practices in Florida as an LCSW. Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients are invited to start by clarifying goals and scheduling a time to talk and see if the approach fits.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Marsha blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness methods to help people manage everyday struggles. Client-centered therapy means conversations follow what matters to the person in front of her; the therapist listens closely and helps set goals the client chooses. Cognitive behavioral work looks at thought and behavior patterns and tests small experiments to reduce distress and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Sessions begin with listening and goal-setting, and Marsha will check in about what is and isn’t working. She collaborates with each person to adjust methods and homework so the plan fits their needs, goals, and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use practices learned in therapy in the actual places they live and work, so skills transfer more readily into daily routines.
