Kerri Fisher, LMHC

Kerri Fisher is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She focuses on practical ways to cope with life changes and difficult emotions. Her approach aims to make clients feel accepted, safe, and valued from the first session.

She uses a mix of methods chosen to fit each person’s needs, rather than a single fixed style. Sessions emphasize collaboration - the therapist and client set goals together and track progress. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what will help in everyday life.

Kerri draws on client-centered techniques to keep attention on the client’s priorities. She combines this with cognitive behavioral strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are used when they match a client’s preferences and goals.

Her work has included a wide range of concerns such as addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career worries, ADHD, and bipolar-related concerns. She also addresses adoption and foster care issues, dissociation, domestic violence, first responder stress, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.

Kerri is licensed in Florida and Indiana and offers services in English. She describes counseling as a partnership and supports clients in learning concrete skills to live better day to day.

How Kerri’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Kerri uses client-centered work to keep the focus on each person’s needs. That means sessions start by hearing what matters most and shaping goals around those priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques add skills for regulating intense emotions and improving distress tolerance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Kerri treats therapy as a collaboration and will discuss which methods fit a client’s goals and style. Together they can try different tools, track what helps, and adjust the plan over time to meet changing needs.

The therapist biography does not specify which remote formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from a schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered work to these settings to focus on skills, coping strategies, and problem solving in ways that fit everyday life.
