Kylie Docksey

Kylie Docksey is an AASW social worker with five years of professional experience in Australia. She works with adults who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, or coping with grief and loss. Kylie also supports people questioning life purpose, struggling with self‑esteem, or dealing with the impact of trauma and abuse.

In sessions she keeps the conversation straightforward. She listens for what matters most and helps people name the practical next steps they can try. Conversations focus on day‑to‑day problems - sleep, concentration, motivation, relationships and emotional reactions - and how to change small patterns that feel stuck.

Kylie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness approaches to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to support emotional regulation and keep momentum when motivation flags. Client‑Centered ideas guide a respectful, non‑directive style in session.

Her work suits people facing major life changes, ongoing low mood, panic or social anxiety, and those navigating family or relationship stress. She also offers support around chronic health and caregiving strain, ageing concerns, and feelings of isolation.

Kylie asks people to be practical about goals and to try small experiments between sessions. If someone is unsure what comes next, she helps them map options and test what makes a difference, one step at a time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying values and taking action that matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and uncertainty about life direction. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on building awareness of bodily sensations and thought patterns to reduce reactivity and improve concentration. It can help with stress, rumination and panic. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, which supports people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kylie will discuss different methods and decide together which fit a person’s goals, needs and everyday life. That collaborative process includes trying strategies in session and checking how they land in real life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow brief check‑ins when a shorter conversation is more helpful. Kylie works with people to shape session length and focus so that therapy fits practical routines without promising a specific format.
