Background and approach

Sessions include clear, manageable steps clients can try between meetings to test what helps. Her work draws on approaches that focus on relationships, present-moment skills, and changing unhelpful thinking. She uses strategies from attachment-based and client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral techniques.

Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy may be used to manage strong emotions and improve coping. Kelly has a long history of supporting people through major life changes, addiction challenges, and complications from chronic illness. She also has experience addressing parenting stress, workplace burnout, and identity-related concerns, including LGBT issues.

Clients can expect collaboration on goals and practical tools to build resilience. Kelly speaks English and practices from Ohio as an Ohio LISW. She accepts international clients and offers multiple ways to meet for therapy.

How Kelly's Approaches Translate to Online Sessions

Kelly uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape stress and anxiety. That approach helps people notice patterns from close relationships and try new ways of relating that reduce worry and conflict.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT offers concrete techniques to test unhelpful thoughts, change behaviors that maintain anxiety, and build problem-solving skills useful for sleep, eating, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kelly works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, preferences, and daily demands. She reviews progress and adjusts strategies so sessions stay practical and focused on what helps most.

Online therapy with Kelly is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping a steady course of support.
