Rev. Rodney Kerr , LPC

Rev. Rodney Kerr brings more than three decades of professional and pastoral counseling experience in South Carolina, combining spiritual formation with clinical practice to support individuals and couples through life changes. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and an ordained minister with a Master of Divinity, and he also serves as a life and relationship coach and a certified career and job development and transition coach. His training includes post-graduate work in marriage and family therapy and multiple couple-focused certifications, such as Gottman Couples Therapy, Imago, PREP, PAIRS, Relationship Enhancement, and couples communication work.

He works collaboratively with people to clarify goals, identify strengths and growth edges, and apply strategies drawn from emotional, relational, and cognitive therapies. His approach draws on a variety of frameworks - including Jungian perspectives, Ericksonian insights, strategic family work, and human needs psychology - to tailor support to each person or partnership. He frequently uses assessment tools like PREPARE/ENRICH and SYMBIS for premarital couples, and employs StrengthsFinder, MBTI I and II, the Strong Interest inventory, and Enneagram coaching to inform career and relationship planning.

Rev. Kerr addresses a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, career transitions, grief, addictions, parenting and fatherhood matters, intimacy and sexual concerns, sleep and coping challenges, anger, self-esteem, and depression. He frames counseling as goal-oriented and strengths-based, aiming to help people build more satisfying and meaningful lives. He would be honored to support those seeking growth and renewed connection.

Online therapy approaches for relationships and life transitions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and adjustment to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is commonly applied to depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships to strengthen connection and resolve attachment-related struggles, making it well suited for couples, intimacy issues, and family concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rev. Rodney Kerr works collaboratively with each person or couple to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors methods and tools from these approaches to fit the situation. The aim is to find a practical, personalized path forward rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow people to access licensed professionals from home or on the go. This flexibility supports continuity of care around work, family responsibilities, or mobility limits, while still enabling goal-focused therapy and relationship work.
