About Robb
Dr. Robb Kerr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 34 years of clinical and academic experience. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related problems, and issues tied to caregiving and compassion fatigue.

In sessions he favors a client-centered stance, listening first and responding to what the person brings. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to help people notice repeating patterns from their past. When trauma is involved he draws on trauma-focused approaches to address painful memories and reactions.
People who reach out often want to stop putting others first, set firmer boundaries, or cope with a partner's or family member's moods and crises. He talks through how relationships and attachment styles affect everyday choices. Conversations are direct and practical, aimed at clearer thinking and better day-to-day functioning.

How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. Kerr uses client-centered methods that focus on the person's immediate concerns and choices. This approach means sessions often start by listening closely, clarifying what matters now, and practicing small changes that can be used between meetings.He also draws on psychodynamic therapy to help people recognize recurring patterns in relationships and behavior. That work looks at how past relationships influence current reactions and can help with issues like people-pleasing or repeated attachment wounds. When trauma is part of the picture he uses trauma-focused techniques to address how painful events affect emotions and behavior in the present.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss which methods feel most useful, adjust the focus as conversations progress, and check in about goals and preferences. Clients and therapist decide together how to proceed.
