Bradley Kerschensteiner

Bradley Kerschensteiner is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strains, and career questions. He offers straightforward, practical support for people facing depression, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and concerns about intimacy or self-esteem. Bradley works with adults who want clearer goals and better coping strategies in their personal and work lives.

He draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to shape the work. Sessions focus on concrete steps - learning new coping skills, improving communication, and making values-based choices. Bradley prefers a collaborative style: he and the client set goals together and check progress regularly.

Bradley has practiced for about 18 years and has experience working in Miami and San Francisco. He also provides executive coaching and organizational consulting to business leaders, helping with leadership skills and team culture. That consulting background informs how he helps clients navigate career transitions and workplace stress.

People can expect direct conversation and practical homework between sessions when helpful. Goals are framed in everyday terms, like better sleep, calmer reactions, clearer boundaries, or improved relationship communication. The therapist aims to help clients take manageable steps toward the life they want.

This practice is based in Florida and Bradley is a FL LMFT. Sessions are conducted in English and he is not accepting international clients.

How Bradley Uses Structured Approaches in Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take small, committed steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and career decisions where people want clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or sleeplessness. It often includes short exercises to practice between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on how emotions and connection shape relationships, helping people improve communication and closeness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to see what is helping and what can be adjusted.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to maintain continuity during work transitions or travel. It also supports short check-ins, skill practice between meetings, and flexible scheduling that can help people balance therapy with work and family responsibilities.
