Kelly Muratorri, LPC, LMHC

Kelly Muratorri is a licensed counselor who supports people working through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, and relationship challenges across Iowa and Texas. She holds the credentials LPC and LMHC - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and draws on seven years of clinical experience to guide clients toward practical coping strategies and emotional growth.

Kelly has developed specialized experience with military veterans, first responders, and individuals on the autism spectrum, offering care that addresses the unique demands those life experiences can create. Her practice also attends to issues such as self-esteem, parenting, compassion fatigue, ADHD, chronic illness and pain, and attachment concerns, using a thoughtful mix of therapeutic skills tailored to each person’s situation.

Her approach centers on compassionate, evidence-informed methods and a faith-informed option when clients request it. Kelly emphasizes collaboration, helping people identify strengths, process difficult experiences, and build skills for long-term resilience. She aims to create an understanding atmosphere where clients can explore their history, clarify goals, and develop concrete strategies for healing and healthier relationships.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Kelly Muratorri uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical skills and coping techniques that can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and support more effective daily functioning.

She also incorporates EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - when trauma-related memories interfere with current life. EMDR works by helping the brain reprocess distressing memories so they become less activating, which can ease symptoms linked to past traumatic events.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Kelly collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts treatment over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to engage in sessions from different locations and schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support during life transitions, and practice skills between sessions with guidance from a licensed professional.
