Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Rev. Rodney Kerr draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values, accept difficult emotions, and take committed action toward goals - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration so that individuals and couples feel heard and can explore concerns at their own pace - this approach supports relationship and emotional healing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to change mood and behavior, making it effective for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and coping challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Rev. Kerr works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques from these models to match the pace and priorities of the client, helping to create a personalized path forward.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and lets therapists and clients meet from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes, coordinate sessions around work and family commitments, and access consistent therapeutic support in a format that suits the client's routine.
