About Kerri

Kerri Fisher is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Florida and Indiana with 20 years of experience. She works with adults, adolescents, and children on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also helps people facing relationship strain, parenting concerns, ADHD, addictions, and career or identity questions.

Kerri uses straightforward, person-focused work in sessions. She treats counseling as a partnership where the client and counselor try out ideas together. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer ways to handle strong feelings, manage stress, and improve daily routines.

Her approach draws on several common methods, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She adapts techniques to the problem at hand, whether that means practicing new coping skills, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, or building emotional regulation strategies.

Kerri has particular experience with grief, trauma, eating and sleep issues, and identity-related concerns, including LGBT matters and adoption or foster care history. She also supports people dealing with family problems, communication difficulties, and co-occurring issues like mood instability or substance use.

Sessions are practical and goal oriented. Kerri emphasizes learning tools that people can use between meetings. She encourages small, achievable steps toward managing anger, reducing overwhelm, and improving relationships.

How Kerri’s approaches work for online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk through feelings and make sense of stressful events. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger-related thinking that gets in the way of daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT tools are useful for managing intense emotions and reducing reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerri will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She brings different techniques and they try what seems most useful together, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
