About Kelsey
Kelsey Devries is a Licensed Master Social Worker with nine years of experience who focuses on practical, skills-based work. She centers sessions on what a person wants to change and uses straightforward methods to reduce stress and anxiety. Kelsey keeps a warm and interactive style so conversations feel natural and direct.
She draws from client-centered techniques to make sessions collaborative and clear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills when feelings feel overwhelming. Kelsey also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to strengthen awareness and find real motivation for change. These tools are useful for concerns like addiction, grief, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
She adapts approaches to match each person’s situation and goals rather than following a fixed recipe. Her background includes work with trauma and family-related issues and a range of mood and relationship concerns. She helps people with attachment, communication, anger, and intimacy-related struggles as well as caregiver stress and codependency.
Kelsey explains steps plainly and practices techniques in-session so people leave with usable tools. Sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Kelsey works from Michigan and uses an approach that balances practical skill building with a supportive conversational tone.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative plan. The therapist follows a person’s goals and helps shape sessions around what matters most to them. This approach can be calming for someone who wants a supportive, goal-driven conversation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and to change behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and many everyday coping problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills help when emotions feel intense or when relationship tension keeps recurring.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kelsey will discuss goals, try methods in-session, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. That makes therapy a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all program.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you work face to face, phone sessions are a good shorter check-in, live chat supports quick back-and-forth, and text-based messaging can keep steady momentum between sessions.
