About Rodney
Rev. Rodney Kerr is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) licensed in South Carolina with 33 years of counseling experience. He works with individuals and couples on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, career transitions, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, depression, and coaching. He describes his work as helping people set and meet goals to create a more satisfying life using emotional, relational, and cognitive approaches.
Rodney combines several therapeutic methods when working with clients. He uses Client-Centered techniques to focus on a person's experience. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy for relationship patterns. He also references Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as part of his approach.
His background includes seminary training with a Master of Divinity and substantial pastoral counseling experience in South Carolina. He has done postgraduate work in marriage and family therapy and has completed multiple relationship and couples programs. His practice integrates assessment tools and personality measures to clarify strengths and challenges.
Rodney often uses assessments such as PREPARE/ENRICH and SYMBIS for premarital work. He also uses StrengthsFinder, MBTI instruments, Strong Interest measures, and Enneagram coaching tools to inform goal setting and planning. These tools help him and clients identify priorities and next steps.
He frames sessions around practical goals and measurable steps. Conversations focus on current problems, family background where relevant, and skills for coping and communication. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.

How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, life changes, and coping when values feel unclear. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and builds understanding through reflective listening and support for personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete strategies for change, often used for depression, anxiety, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. He will discuss options and adjust the plan as sessions progress so the work stays practical and goal-oriented.
Session formats are not listed in the available biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow participation without travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to phone or video formats when those options are supported, helping people practice skills, review assessment results, and work on relationships even when an in-person meeting is not possible.
