About Austin
Austin Kerker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 11 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, and anger. He also helps people dealing with self-esteem, motivation, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes.
Austin focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. He listens to how problems show up day to day and helps people outline small changes they can try. He uses a mixture of approaches so the work can be adjusted as needs evolve. Sessions are aimed at clear goals such as managing temper, reducing worrying, or addressing substance use patterns.
His background includes treatment for mood concerns like depression and bipolar, and attention-related struggles such as ADHD. He also supports people coping with trauma, compassion fatigue, and career or family stress. People who feel stuck with guilt, shame, impulsivity, jealousy, or isolation often seek his help.
Austin draws on client-centered work to keep the conversation focused on the person's priorities. He pairs that with cognitive-behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to change unhelpful patterns and build practical skills. Narrative and solution-focused ideas are used to track progress and find concrete next steps.
He practices in Florida and offers sessions in English. Before a first session, readers should check the current session formats offered and follow the site's steps to connect and schedule.
How his approaches translate to online work
Austin commonly combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-centered work focuses on the person's priorities and keeps conversations grounded in what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thought and behavior patterns that feed anger, anxiety, or low mood and offers concrete skills to change them.Motivational Interviewing is also used to support change when motivation feels stalled. That approach helps people weigh options and find their own reasons to try new behaviors, which can be useful for addictions, impulsivity, or making life shifts. He works collaboratively to decide which approach fits a person's goals and preferences rather than offering a single method from the start.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. A few sessions can be used to test an approach and adjust how the work proceeds to better match daily life and responsibilities.
