About Kelly
Her approach blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques to address intrusive self-criticism, relationship tensions, and the practical skills needed to manage difficult emotions. Kelly also attends to issues that often accompany later life and caregiving, attachment and family dynamics, blended family questions, and challenges related to illness and loss. She holds the credential LCMHC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, and uses that training to support clients in setting achievable goals and building resilience.
Kelly emphasizes collaboration and gentle, practical steps so progress feels manageable. Beginning 9/01/26, she will only be available to see clients on Monday and Friday mornings.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions
Kelly combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship so individuals feel accepted and can explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping skills that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Motivational interviewing is also used when clients are facing ambivalence about change - it helps strengthen personal motivation and clarify goals in a respectful, nonjudgmental way.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Kelly works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and supported rather than directed.
Online therapy with Kelly is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from home or work while focusing on practical strategies and emotional growth.
