About Marsha
LCSW in Florida with 25 years of clinical experience, Marsha Kerr helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship and family concerns. She uses client-centered work alongside specific methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused techniques. Sessions focus on practical goals and on what the person wants to change.
Marsha emphasizes collaboration. She begins by clarifying treatment goals or helping people figure out what they want from therapy. Much of the work is conversational and goal-directed, with attention to patterns of thought and behavior. Mindfulness practices and gratitude exercises are often woven into sessions where they fit the client's needs.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from New York University and long experience in community and clinical settings. Over her career she has spent substantial time supporting underserved and disenfranchised populations while also working with adults coping with life purpose, midlife shifts, and mood challenges.
In practical terms she helps people identify concrete coping strategies for daily life. That can mean testing new ways to respond to stress, trying behavioral changes suggested by CBT, or using short solution-focused steps between sessions. She also works with longer-term material when people want to examine recurring relationship or self-esteem patterns.
Marsha practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Her approach aims to be straightforward and focused on the issues a person brings, with regular check-ins on goals and progress.

How her approaches work for remote sessions
Marsha commonly integrates client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices. Client-centered work means listening first and shaping goals with the person. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness practices teach simple awareness and breathing exercises to manage stress and increase focus.Finding the right approach is something she plans together with each person. She will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process guides which mix of approaches is used over time.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and making it easier to schedule brief check-ins or longer sessions around work and caregiving. It can also allow practicing mindfulness or CBT exercises in everyday settings and reviewing progress between meetings. Ask about the specific session formats offered when you move forward so you can pick the best fit for your routine and needs.
