About Kelly
Kelly Gadbury is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, bipolar mood shifts, depression, or major life changes. Kelly aims to create a respectful and compassionate setting where clients can talk and make practical changes.
She shapes conversations around each person's needs instead of using one fixed method. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Kelly listens for what matters most and then works with clients to find what actually helps in daily life. Her approach draws on common-sense skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That means noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them out, and practicing ways to respond differently.
She also uses client-centered principles to follow each person's pace and Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change. Kelly has worked across a range of concerns that touch many parts of life, including relationship patterns, family of origin issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and major transitions. She will discuss options and tailor a plan to fit your situation and goals.
People meet with her to reduce daily anxiety, build coping strategies for grief, manage mood swings, or work through the stress of caregiving and illness. She emphasizes practical tools, steady support, and short-term steps that add up to real change.
Approaches for online work and practical change
Kelly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them with small experiments. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and everyday stress by giving clear steps to change thinking and behavior. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm; it can help with ongoing worry and mood regulation.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kelly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She explains options, tries strategies, and adjusts the plan based on what is helpful in real life.
Online therapy lets people connect in ways that fit their schedule and energy. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and to practice tools between sessions.
