About Rodney
Rev. Rodney Kerr is an LPC with more than three decades of counseling experience in South Carolina. He combines practical conversation, goal-setting, and relationship work to help people manage stress, sleeping concerns, grief, and life transitions. He also supports those facing addiction, career changes, and intimacy or relationship challenges.
Rodney begins by looking at what a person or couple already does well and where they want change. He uses approachable tools and structured assessments to clarify goals and next steps. Sessions focus on clear strategies people can try between meetings and on tracking small improvements over time.
His background includes ministry, pastoral counseling, and seminary training with a Master of Divinity, plus decades of hands-on practice with individuals and couples. He draws from cognitive and emotional approaches along with family systems ideas when those perspectives fit the work.
In practical terms he often uses assessments such as PREPARE/ENRICH and SYMBIS for premarital conversations and other instruments like StrengthsFinder and MBTI to map preferences and strengths. That information is used to shape realistic action steps and to make conversations more focused.
People who meet with him can expect a mix of listening, structured feedback, and goal-oriented exercises. He aims to help clients move toward clearer priorities, better communication, and improved day-to-day functioning.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions that fit those values even when thoughts or emotions get in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on relationship patterns and helps partners understand emotions underneath conflict so they can reconnect more effectively.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then suggest one or a blend of methods to try. Clients and the therapist can adjust the plan as needed based on progress and comfort.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or let someone meet without commuting. Licensed professionals can guide practical strategies for sleep, stress, relationships, and life transitions through conversation, exercises, and shared planning even when meeting remotely.
