About Bradley

Bradley Kerschensteiner is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps adults and couples manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship struggles. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

Background and approach

Bradley draws on many approaches to match what each person needs. Bradley has 18 years of clinical experience and has worked in Florida and other cities.

He mixes talk therapy with proven methods to address mood, trauma, and addictive behaviors. Sessions aim to make small changes that add up over time.

He commonly uses the Gottman Method for relationship work, along with cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-based strategies to shift habits and thoughts. Bradley also brings client-centered and dialectical skills to help people regulate strong emotions and improve communication.

In the room he focuses on clear goals and skills you can practice at home. For couples he helps partners notice damaging patterns and build better ways to connect and solve problems.

For individuals he works on coping, self-direction, and handling life transitions. Outside clinical work Bradley has done executive coaching and organizational consulting with business leaders.

That background influences his practical, results-oriented style when helping clients set goals and track progress.

Approaches for relationships and personal change online

Bradley uses the Gottman Method to help partners spot repeating patterns, reduce conflict, and rebuild connection through clear exercises and dialogue techniques. Gottman work focuses on practical conversations and small consistent repairs that improve daily interaction.

He also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, which helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when unwanted thoughts or feelings arise. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Bradley pairs ACT with a client-centered stance that keeps the client's goals first and adjusts pacing to what feels manageable.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Bradley collaborates with each person or couple to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level, and he checks in regularly to adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let couples practice skills together in real time. Phone calls can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief coaching, quick check-ins, and keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life rhythms.
