About Kerri

Kerri Fisher is a licensed mental health counselor with two decades of experience. She works with children, adolescents, and adults on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and parenting challenges. Kerri aims to make people feel accepted, safe, and valued from the first conversation.

She frames counseling as a partnership where the client’s goals guide each step. She uses practical methods that match each person’s needs rather than a single fixed approach.

Background and approach

That can mean teaching skills to manage strong emotions, trying small behavior changes, or using mindfulness practices to reduce stress. Kerri also draws on trauma-focused techniques when past hurt is getting in the way of daily life. Her background includes licensing in Florida and Indiana and 20 years providing one-on-one care.

Over that time she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including addictions, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses adoption and foster care needs and blended family challenges. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what a person can handle.

Kerri focuses on clear, doable steps clients can use between sessions to feel steadier. Parents who are worried about mood, behavior, or family stress will find straightforward help and practical tools. Her style is direct and compassionate.

She balances skills-based work like cognitive behavioral strategies with client-centered listening and solution-focused planning. The goal is to help people make small changes that add up to better day-to-day life.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what a person says. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection to help clients clarify goals and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tries small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. It often includes homework between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships; it can be useful when people struggle with mood swings or strong reactions.

Picking the right approach is part of the work. Kerri collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan over time so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions make it easier to connect from home or other convenient locations. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging offer options for shorter check-ins or when schedules are tight. These formats provide flexibility for parents and busy people to follow through with regular sessions and practice new skills between meetings.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
