Kelly Waldron, LMHC

Kelly Waldron, LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), is licensed in Rhode Island and brings 20 years of professional experience to her therapeutic work. She has supported people dealing with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, parenting challenges, and anger management, as well as related concerns such as attachment issues, communication problems, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. Her practice emphasizes practical, evidence-informed strategies tailored to each person’s circumstances and goals.

Kelly views each client as the expert of their own story and builds on the strengths individuals already possess. She encourages small courageous steps toward change and offers steady support as clients explore patterns, practice new skills, and work through difficult emotions. Beginning therapy can feel challenging, and she honors the decision to start while helping clients move forward at a pace that feels right for them.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Remote Support

Kelly uses practical, evidence-informed approaches that fit the concerns people bring to therapy. One approach focuses on teaching skills for managing stress and anxiety - clients learn hands-on strategies to reduce worry, regulate emotions, and respond differently to stressful situations. Another approach centers on family and parenting work - sessions address communication patterns, parenting challenges, and relationship dynamics to improve connection and problem solving within the family. A third emphasis is on attachment-informed work that explores patterns in relationships and helps clients develop more secure ways of relating and coping.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Kelly works with each person to identify which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress is made.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try new strategies between sessions, and access support from wherever the client is located.
