04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care options
Dr. Kerr commonly uses client-centered therapy and trauma-focused therapy in his online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening closely to the person's experience and shaping sessions around their immediate concerns, which can help with anxiety, relationship strain, and life transitions. Trauma-focused therapy targets the lingering effects of past hurt so people can reduce distress and function better in daily life.He also brings psychodynamic ideas into sessions to help people notice repeated patterns and how past relationships influence current behavior. Choosing the right combination of approaches is collaborative - the therapist will talk with each person about goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust over time based on what helps most.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face interaction, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for work breaks, travel, or differing comfort with being on camera.
