About Marsha
Marsha Kerr is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on the person, not a set of techniques. She listens first and helps people clarify what they want from therapy. Her style is steady and collaborative, with an emphasis on practical steps that can be used day to day.
Marsha has 25 years of experience in the mental health field and earned her clinical social work degree from New York University. She has spent much of her career supporting underserved and disenfranchised people while also working with adults facing common life struggles. That range has shaped a flexible, down-to-earth approach to care.
In sessions she emphasizes gratitude and mindfulness as ways to notice what is working and expand it. She also uses conversation to help people untangle worries, depression, relationship strain, codependency, grief, and changes in life stage. The goal is often clearer choices and small changes that add up over time.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods and practical tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused work, along with insights from psychodynamic thinking. Marsha works with adults on issues like stress, anxiety, mood disorders, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions.
People who want a calm, thoughtful listener who will help them set realistic goals may find her style appealing. She aims to help people find more purpose, ease, and workable routines in everyday life.
How Marsha's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and priorities. It involves listening closely, reflecting what you say, and helping you set goals that matter to you. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive, respectful space to sort out feelings and decisions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best for their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.
