Marsha Kerr, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Marsha

Marsha Kerr is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on the person first. She emphasizes understanding each client's goals and helping parents and individuals sort out what matters most. Conversations are collaborative and practical, with attention to daily habits like gratitude and mindfulness.

With 25 years in the mental health field, Marsha draws on long experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions. She also pays attention to concerns such as self-esteem, relationship strain, compassion fatigue, and mood disorders.

Background and approach

Her work includes attention to LGBT issues and women's concerns. Marsha trained in clinical social work at New York University and has spent much of her career working with underserved and disenfranchised people. She also has experience helping adults who are rethinking purpose, meaning, and day-to-day satisfaction.

In sessions she uses straightforward methods that fit the person in front of her. That can mean talking through patterns from the past, shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, or practicing present-moment awareness to reduce overwhelm. She aims to create clear, manageable steps clients can try between meetings.

People who choose Marsha can expect calm, steady guidance and a focus on practical change. She listens first, then helps shape a plan based on each person’s goals and preferences. Marsha practices in Florida as an LCSW (licensed clinical social worker).

Approaches and online options for family and parenting concerns

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions; it works well for parents who want a respectful, exploratory space to clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down thoughts and behaviors into practical pieces and teaches tools to reduce anxiety and shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice their reactions in the moment and build simple habits to reduce stress.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your situation, discuss options, and help decide which methods match your needs and preferences. Plans can change over time as goals evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to continue work between appointments. They let licensed professionals meet people where they are and use the same practical tools and exercises you would do in person, while keeping scheduling simpler and more accessible.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
