Kerri Fisher, LMHC

Kerri Fisher is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Florida and Indiana with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults, adolescents, and children on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and anger. Her practice also addresses concerns like sleep and eating issues, parenting stress, relationship and intimacy-related problems, career pressures, and attention-related challenges.

Kerri describes counseling as a partnership. She listens first and then helps people build practical skills. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can use between meetings. She aims to help people reduce reactivity, manage urges, and handle day-to-day pressures more effectively.

Her work blends several approaches to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings become intense.

Kerri also uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the client’s priorities, and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and track progress. Mindfulness practices are introduced to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce automatic reactions.

Over two decades she has supported people facing complex issues such as co-morbidity, codependency, and trauma-related dissociation. She also works with clients dealing with adoption and foster care matters, first responder stress, and grief connected to loss. The approach is practical, straightforward, and aimed at helping people regain more control over how they respond to anger and stress.
