About Bradley
Bradley Kerschensteiner greets people who are nervous about reaching out and keeps the first step simple. He focuses on practical ways to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve relationships. Bradley is a licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, with 18 years of experience based in Florida.
He helps adults who are dealing with depression, addiction, trauma and grief. He also supports people facing career strain, parenting challenges, sleeping problems, anger, and low self-esteem.
How Bradley works
Sessions aim to clarify goals and try small, doable steps toward change. Bradley blends several therapy styles to match what a person needs. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people focus on values and committed action.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy inform his work on relationships and emotional regulation. He has experience in executive coaching and organizational consulting, which shapes a practical approach to workplace and career concerns.
That background also supports people who want help with leadership stress, career transitions, or workplace burnout. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. Bradley works with each person to set clear objectives and track progress.
The pace is adjusted to what someone can manage so change feels sustainable rather than overwhelming.

Therapy approaches and how they work online
Bradley commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most and taking small steps toward it.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that lead to distress and to practice new behavior. CBT works well for anxiety, sleep problems, addictive behaviors, and mood challenges because it gives clear exercises and homework to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bradley will discuss goals and preferences and recommend methods together. That collaborative plan can be adjusted as progress is reviewed so the therapy stays relevant to current needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls let a therapist and client read facial cues and have more interactive moments, while phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or someone with limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, reminders, or continued support between synchronous sessions. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, parenting, or travel while still keeping steady therapeutic progress.
