About Kerri

Kerri Fisher is a licensed mental health counselor with two decades of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and a wide range of life changes and behavioral concerns.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses areas such as addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family challenges, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and career-related difficulties. Her therapeutic stance emphasizes acceptance and collaboration; she aims to create an atmosphere in which clients feel valued and respected while they learn practical skills for coping and growth.

Kerri draws from several evidence-informed methods including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches, tailoring techniques to each person’s needs. She views counseling as a partnership in which therapist and client work together toward improved functioning and wellbeing.

Licensed in Florida and Indiana, Kerri brings a flexible, strengths-based approach to sessions and adapts interventions to suit developmental level and presenting concerns. Her goal is to help clients build lasting skills for managing emotions, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Therapy

Kerri frequently integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered methods into online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to problems, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and a collaborative relationship to help people explore feelings and find their own solutions.

She may also draw from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are central concerns. DBT offers concrete strategies for managing intense emotions and improving relationships while encouraging balance between acceptance and change.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to select and adapt techniques based on presenting concerns, personal goals, and preferences so that each plan fits the individual rather than relying on a single method.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from varied locations, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use therapeutic tools in day-to-day settings.
