About Anna
Anna Lehew Kelley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental approach for people who feel worried, overwhelmed, or stuck. Anna focuses on helping people reduce anxiety and manage stress so daily life feels more doable.
She listens first and then helps clients identify patterns that keep problems repeating. She uses practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and to build skills for handling strong emotions.
Background and approach
Sessions mix talking with concrete exercises people can use between meetings. Anna draws on several well-known approaches, including attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and EMDR for trauma processing. She aims to tailor methods to each person’s needs rather than using one fixed plan.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh and licensure as an LCSW in West Virginia and Ohio. Over a dozen years she has worked with people facing trauma, addiction, relationship strain, depression, grief, and life transitions. Therapy with Anna typically focuses on identifying roots of problems, learning skills to cope, and making actionable change.
She encourages a team effort so clients feel involved in choosing goals and steps forward. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Anna uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking. CBT focuses on simple steps and homework so people can try new ways of thinking between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses attachment-based work to look at how close relationships shape reactions and trust. This approach helps people understand patterns in relationships and learn different ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest strategies to try. Together they adjust methods over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and practice of skills. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter support, brief updates, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules.
