Felice Kelley (Kelley-Ware), LPC

Felice Kelley (Kelley-Ware) is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with ten years of professional counseling experience and fifteen years of teaching experience. She brings that combined background to work with people encountering career challenges, managing major life transitions, and helping adoptees process and heal from trauma, along with many other life difficulties.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly and explored collaboratively. Kelley works alongside clients to identify strengths, clarify goals, and develop practical strategies for coping and growth. She recognizes that beginning therapy can require courage and honors the step clients take when they reach out for support.

Her approach balances empathy with structured techniques to help clients move forward at a pace that fits their needs. Sessions are focused on tailoring care to each person’s circumstances and fostering resilience through thoughtful listening, goal setting, and skills-building.

Approaches for Online Counseling and Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their feelings and priorities. This approach supports people coping with life changes, grief, or questions about identity by focusing on the client’s own goals and pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured method that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, depression, and practical coping skills, offering clear strategies that clients can practice between sessions.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change. It can be especially useful for clients facing transitions, behavior change, or recovery-related decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may integrate elements from different approaches as appropriate.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
