About Bradley

Bradley Kerschensteiner offers therapy for adults seeking help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, addiction, grief, and a range of life transitions. He emphasizes supporting clients who want practical tools to manage stress, improve communication, and rebuild emotional balance.

Background and approach

Bradley presents a collaborative stance that centers each person’s goals while attending to patterns that affect daily functioning and close relationships. Using a blend of proven methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered work, Bradley helps people identify thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and practices new ways of responding.

He draws on 18 years of clinical experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida, combining psychotherapy with coaching skills when clients seek growth in both personal and professional areas. Bradley communicates a straightforward, professional approach aimed at creating clearer priorities, healthier relationships, and more effective coping strategies.

Using CBT and ACT Online to Build Practical Skills

Bradley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that sustain anxiety, depression, and relationship stress. CBT focuses on practical, skill-based strategies such as identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing assumptions, and experimenting with behavioral changes to reduce distress.

He also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes clarifying values and developing psychological flexibility. ACT supports people who want to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful actions, which can be useful for coping with grief, chronic stress, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Bradley works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. He tailors interventions over time, combining techniques from CBT, ACT, and client-centered work so treatment aligns with each person’s needs.

Online therapy through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access help from home or elsewhere when scheduling and circumstances require it.
