About Kelly
Kelly draws on client-centered methods to create a respectful space where clients can speak openly. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to help people identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on relationship and intimacy concerns, while existential and Jungian approaches support deeper questions about meaning and identity.
With ten years of clinical experience, Kelly helps people manage parenting challenges, blended family issues, and struggles tied to adoption or foster care. She also supports people facing trauma, domestic violence histories, body image concerns, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. Her practice includes work on communication, codependency, abandonment, and fatherhood issues.
She offers practical takeaways between sessions, such as short tutorial videos on breathing exercises, boundary setting, and ways to use music and art for expression. Kelly welcomes diverse spiritual beliefs and cultural backgrounds and keeps a straightforward, nonjudgmental style.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Kelly combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to make online sessions feel practical and grounded. Client-centered therapy means listening closely and shaping sessions around what the person says matters most, which helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing small changes that reduce anxiety or lift mood.She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy when relationship or intimacy issues are central. That approach helps people identify and change interaction patterns that cause distance or conflict. Together, these approaches support both short-term coping and deeper shifts in how people relate to themselves and others. Kelly treats the choice of approach as collaborative and will work with each person to decide what fits their goals and preferences.
The therapist’s biography indicates virtual sessions are used, but it’s important to confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to use techniques learned in session, like breathing exercises or brief behavioral experiments, in their everyday settings.
