Bradley Kerschensteiner, LMFT - Therapist in Florida

About Bradley

Bradley Kerschensteiner is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside common adult issues. He meets adults and couples where they are and helps them tackle stress, anxiety, relationship strains, addiction, and grief. Sessions are practical and collaborative, with clear goals set together.

He writes plainly and guides people through realistic steps rather than offering vague promises. Bradley draws on nearly two decades of experience, mostly practicing in Florida and previously in Miami and San Francisco.

Background and approach

He blends several therapy methods to match each person’s needs, including cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance-based work, and emotionally focused techniques. Those methods help with handling intense feelings, changing unhelpful habits, and repairing connection in relationships. In sessions he focuses on concrete skills and real-life changes.

That can mean learning tools to calm anxiety, practicing new ways to talk with a partner, or developing routines that improve sleep and daily functioning. He also supports work around addiction, coping with trauma, and parenting stresses. Bradley has experience coaching leaders and supporting organizations, which informs his practical, goal-oriented approach in therapy.

He emphasizes clear communication and actionable steps you can try between sessions. People who want straightforward guidance and collaboration may find his style a good fit. Therapy is offered in English and provided online through multiple formats.

For those ready to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on the therapist’s availability.

How Bradley’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. Online ACT often focuses on small experiments you can try between sessions to build a life that matters to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. In an online setting CBT uses clear exercises and homework to practice new responses to stress and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on the emotional bonds between partners and aims to improve how people respond to each other during conflict or distress. For couples working remotely, EFT can guide calmer conversations and rebuild trust through structured moments of connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Bradley will talk with each person or couple about goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. He works collaboratively, adjusting the plan if something isn’t helping until a better fit is found.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families and adults balancing work and parenting. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging let people use therapy in shorter bursts or when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to keep momentum between appointments and to practice skills in real life where challenges actually occur.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
