Rev. Rodney Kerr

Rev. Rodney Kerr, LPC, uses relationship-focused and practical therapy to help people navigate major life changes and everyday stressors. He brings 33 years of counseling experience in South Carolina and combines conversational, goal-oriented work with longer-term reflection. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to each person and build small, doable steps toward change.

He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered listening. That mix is used to address anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and intimacy-related struggles. He also helps with career transitions and parenting strain by turning goals into action plans.

Rodney emphasizes strengths and concrete skills. He uses assessments such as PREPARE/ENRICH and personality tools to highlight patterns and choices. This can make decision points like divorce, job change, or caregiving feel more manageable.

His background includes seminary training with a Master of Divinity and pastoral counseling across community settings. He has worked on relationship skills, communication, commitment issues, and family-of-origin themes for many years.

In sessions he often blends talking, behavioral tasks, and reflective exercises. That approach supports people coping with life changes, rebuilding after loss, or wanting clearer direction. He invites clients to set goals and test what works in daily life.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action toward what matters. It helps people tolerate difficult thoughts and keep moving toward goals when life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and reshape emotional responses inside relationships so partners and individuals can feel more connected and understood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often combine listening, skill practice, and simple homework so people can test new ways of behaving between meetings.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins when a full in-person visit is difficult. It also lets people try techniques at home and bring questions about real situations directly into the session. Licensed professionals guide the selection of methods and pacing so the work matches each person's schedule and goals.
