About Kerri
Kerri Fisher is an LMHC licensed in Florida and Indiana with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with children, adolescents, and adults who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also supports people dealing with relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, sleeping and eating problems, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and substance use issues.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing different ways of responding. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques to match what a person needs in the moment.
Kerri frames counseling as a partnership. She helps clients set clear, manageable goals and uses step-by-step strategies to make progress. Work often includes tracking patterns between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and practicing new responses between sessions.
She has particular experience with adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, codependency, trauma-related dissociation, first responder stress, and dealing with guilt and shame. Kerri also supports concerns that intersect, such as co-morbidity and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.
Sessions aim to produce concrete changes in daily life. Kerri encourages practical skills that can be tried and adjusted. People who want structured, hands-on work around symptoms and routines may find this approach helpful.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in brief, structured ways. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete exercises to change patterns; it works well for anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills through step-by-step skills training and coaching-like practice.She also uses client-centered techniques to keep the work focused on each person's goals and preferences. Deciding which approach to emphasize is collaborative. The therapist and client review current needs and try methods that fit day-to-day life, adjusting as progress or obstacles appear.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday routine, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It can also allow a person to practice skills in the context of their normal environment and bring real situations into discussion for real-time problem solving.
