About Kelly
Kelly begins by getting to know each person and hearing their story. She asks what matters most and what would feel different if things improved. Then she and the client create a flexible plan to work toward those goals, checking progress as they go.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh and a Bachelor of Education with a major in Family and Human Services from the University of Oregon. She also completed advanced coursework and a mental health certification during clinical placements.
In sessions she draws on approaches that include attachment-focused work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and narrative work. That mix helps people make sense of hard experiences, shift unhelpful habits of thought and behavior, and rebuild a sense of control.
Kelly has experience supporting people dealing with complex trauma, addiction, chronic homelessness, incarceration and re-integration, and persistent mental health challenges. She aims to meet each person where they are and to explore practical steps toward greater understanding and stability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Kelly integrates attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral techniques in approachable ways. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people notice and change ways of relating that cause distress. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kelly collaborates with each person to select methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan based on what is working and what is not.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as they are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It also supports using tools like thought records or narrative exercises between sessions to reinforce change. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to match everyday life and responsibilities, helping progress feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
