About Kelli
Kelli Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people manage anxiety, stress, mood changes, and relationship concerns. Her tone is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make therapy easy to understand for busy families and individuals.
Kelli brings about ten years of counseling experience to her work. She has spent much of that time helping people with depression, ADHD, parenting challenges, anger, and trauma-related concerns.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with a wide range of life changes, from divorce and separation to pregnancy and childbirth issues. In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused strategies as appropriate. Kelli keeps sessions focused on specific steps people can take between meetings, such as small behavior changes and simple coping exercises.
She adapts those steps to fit each person’s daily life and goals. Her approach is collaborative. She and the client set concrete, achievable goals and track small wins along the way.
Kelli offers both brief plans that run about eight weeks and longer-term support when more time is needed. Kelli also draws on experience writing about anxiety, organization, communication, boundaries, and related topics. She conducts sessions in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Trauma-focused methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are often used to target symptoms that come after difficult experiences and to change unhelpful thought patterns. Trauma-focused strategies help people process distressing events in small, paced steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and focuses on skills you can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety and low mood.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and improving focus in daily life. Kelli blends these approaches with solution-focused techniques to keep sessions practical and action oriented, helping clients set reachable goals and track progress together.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying techniques for a few weeks and adjusting based on what helps most.
Online formats offer flexibility and easier access to regular care. Video calls let people work face-to-face when a full session is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and quick skill practice possible between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit into work, school, and family routines.
