About Kelly
Kelly frames clients as the experts on their own stories. She uses that perspective to build straightforward conversations about what feels hardest right now. Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings and on making small changes that add up.
Her background includes work in family-related concerns, caregiving and hospice contexts, and with people managing chronic illness and complex medical situations. That experience informs how she talks about loss, aging, and end-of-life planning with practical attention to what matters most to the client.
Kelly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. She uses person-focused listening, thought-and-behavior tools, and goal-oriented planning to address problems like anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck in midlife or career transitions.
People who come to Kelly can expect a direct, collaborative style that looks at both feelings and everyday patterns. She invites clients to try ideas, notice what changes, and adjust the plan as needed. To begin, clients follow the site's matching process and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Kelly uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on a person's perspective and priorities, which means listening closely and letting the client's goals guide the work. This approach helps when someone is sorting through values, life purpose, or relationship choices.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical skills. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and for people wanting clear tools to change patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her toolkit too, emphasizing short-term goal setting and small, testable steps that can produce quick changes in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kelly discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. The work is collaborative and involves trying ideas, checking what helps, and changing course when needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to use tools like worksheets and behavioral experiments between meetings to support progress.
