She has also worked with the Department of Corrections and in group private practice settings.

Kelly’s style is person-centered and solution-focused. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs in clear, practical ways. She uses a mix of approaches and adapts the plan to match someone’s situation rather than following a fixed protocol.

How Kelly’s approaches work for online care

Kelly uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person’s perspective, offering a space where concerns are heard and understood. That approach helps when people want a supportive, empathetic listener who follows their lead and helps clarify goals.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping skills. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and for building new routines to manage difficult symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kelly will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then tailor the plan. That collaborative process helps match methods like client-centered work or CBT to the person’s needs.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-in times, and allow sitting down for focused conversation without travel. Discuss scheduling and any practical needs during the initial match so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.
