About Rodney
Rev. Rodney Kerr is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in South Carolina with 33 years of counseling experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, career transitions, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and coaching needs. He also focuses on codependency, abandonment, commitment and communication problems, and family of origin concerns.
He combines practical talk with structured tools. He uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered work. He also draws on pastoral and career coaching skills gained through seminary training and years of pastoral counseling.
In sessions he helps people set and work toward clear goals. He uses assessments such as PREPARE/ENRICH and SYMBIS for premarital work. Other tools he may use include StrengthsFinder, the MBTI, Strong Interest, and Enneagram coaching for clearer self-understanding and practical next steps.
His approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. He looks at both strengths and areas to develop, then helps clients practice new ways of relating and coping. He has experience with end-of-life and hospice counseling, forgiveness work, and issues related to fatherhood and family roles.
People considering beginning work are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action. Online ACT sessions often include exercises to notice thoughts and choose actions that fit what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can be practiced between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people pay attention to emotions and how they show up in relationships, useful for addressing intimacy and communication issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and how a method might fit a person's situation. Decisions are made together so sessions focus on what the client wants to change and how they want to work.
Session formats are not specified in the source biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow sessions during work breaks or between errands. They also let people use tools and worksheets in real time and practice skills between meetings. Ask about specific session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so you understand what will be available.
