About Robb
Dr. Robb Kerr, PhD uses a thoughtful, person-focused approach to help people manage stress and anxiety. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 34 years of clinical and academic experience.
Dr. Kerr speaks plainly and asks practical questions to learn what matters most to each person who comes for help. He draws on client-centered work to make sessions collaborative and respectful.
People often bring worries about relationships, family tension, grief, or changes in life.
Background and approach
Dr. Kerr also addresses trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and concerns related to identity and intimacy. Background training includes graduate degrees in counseling and clinical psychology and additional specialized study in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
His academic experience informs a reflective style that helps people see patterns in their feelings and behaviors. This can be useful for long-standing worries or recent crises. In a typical session he listens, asks clear questions, and helps people try out new ways of thinking and relating.
Interventions are practical and rooted in the therapeutic approaches he uses rather than rigid techniques. Many clients aim to reduce anxiety, improve communication, or cope with loss and life transitions. Dr.
Kerr works with adults on a range of life and mental health concerns, including attachment and relationship problems, caregiver stress, body image, and issues tied to aging or illness. He accepts international clients and holds Michigan licensure as an LPC.
Approach and Online Options for Anxiety and Trauma
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients feel understood and can explore what matters to them. This approach often helps with ongoing worry, relationship problems, and life changes.Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns in feelings and relationships that repeat over time. It helps people understand how past experiences shape current reactions and can be useful for long-standing anxiety, attachment issues, or recurring relationship conflicts. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing distressing experiences and reducing their ongoing impact; it is often used when anxiety is tied to past traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and preferences and then suggest a path forward. That process is collaborative and may combine elements from different approaches to fit what the client needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video allows face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work across locations.
