Kelly Van Vleet

Kelly Van Vleet is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, practicing in North Carolina with eight years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Kelly works with people who feel stuck or overwhelmed and those facing big shifts in work, health, or family roles.

Her approach is direct and practical. Sessions emphasize listening first, then using clear tools to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to center the person's experience and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Kelly also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people sort through mixed feelings about change, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and build momentum. In practice this means short, concrete steps clients can try between sessions and regular check-ins on what works.

She addresses a wide range of life stressors, including aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, cancer-related struggles, attachment issues, infidelity, loneliness, guilt and shame, and communication problems. Conversations tend to be straightforward and practical, not abstract.

Sessions are conducted in English. Cost varies by location and is billed through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client’s experience. In practice online this means sessions start by following what the person brings and clarifying what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress and can include homework between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help the client identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what feels useful. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as needs and preferences become clearer.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a break, avoiding travel time, or keeping continuity during life transitions. They also allow use of written notes or screen-shared worksheets during CBT exercises. Discuss format preferences during the matching process to find an arrangement that fits daily routines and therapeutic goals.
