Dr. Robb Kerr, PhD

Dr. Robb Kerr, PhD is a licensed professional counselor with 34 years of clinical and academic experience. He offers direct, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship concerns. He emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where feelings and thoughts can be spoken about honestly.

He trained in counseling and clinical psychology, earning a PhD in Counseling Psychology and earlier degrees in counseling and clinical psychology and education. He also completed four years of advanced work in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy through recognized institutes. These experiences shaped his interest in long-term patterns and how early experience affects present life.

His approach draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and psychodynamic ideas. That means he listens closely, helps people feel heard, and pays attention to how past hurts influence current behavior. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual, whether that is coping with loss, resolving family conflict, navigating intimacy, or managing compassion fatigue.

Robb has worked with issues related to LGBT concerns, blended family stress, attachment difficulties, avoidant and dependent personality patterns, and problems like codependency, communication struggles, and control issues. He also supports people dealing with aging, caregiving burden, cancer, dissociation, and disaster-related stress.

People who reach out can expect a calm, reflective clinician who values patience and steady progress. To begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy steps and complete the brief matching questionnaire to schedule sessions.

Approach-focused online therapy with practical support

Dr. Kerr integrates Trauma-Focused Therapy, client-centered methods, and psychodynamic ideas into his online work. Trauma-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding and working through the effects of past traumatic events so daily life feels less disrupted. Client-centered work centers on listening closely and following the person's priorities to build trust and clarity. Psychodynamic methods look at recurring relationship patterns and how early experiences shape present behavior.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. He collaborates with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on their goals, concerns, and preferences. That way the plan changes as needs change, and the client helps shape the path forward.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn how sessions are scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people connect from wherever they are located, which can help keep momentum between appointments.
