Marsha Kerr, LCSW

Marsha Kerr centers treatment on the person rather than on strict adherence to any single therapeutic model. She works collaboratively with each individual to clarify treatment goals or to help sort them out when they are uncertain, meeting people where they are and tailoring support to the struggles they are facing.

With more than 25 years of experience in the mental health field, Marsha has developed a broad practice that includes both work with underserved and disenfranchised populations and with mainstream adults seeking greater purpose, fulfillment, and everyday contentment. She emphasizes listening and understanding as the foundation of therapy, and approaches each relationship as a cooperative effort between therapist and client.

Marsha is an LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and she earned her clinical social work degree from New York University. Over the years she has made gratitude and mindfulness central themes in her work, encouraging practical strategies to make the most of each day regardless of circumstance.

She looks forward to getting to know new clients and to supporting them in reaching their therapy goals through respectful, person-focused care.

Approaches for Online Support and Personalized Care

Marsha commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client as the expert on their own experience and focuses on empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help people explore their goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a goal-oriented approach that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches skills for staying present and managing strong emotions through gentle awareness and breathing practices, and it supports daily habits that can improve overall well-being.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marsha works with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process can adapt over time as priorities and circumstances change.

Online therapy with Marsha is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access care from home or while managing busy lives, and they allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of treatment even when in-person visits are not possible.
