Background and approach
Sessions emphasize real skills you can use between meetings to feel a little better each day. Her approach centers on listening closely to the person's goals and building from there. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Client-Centered Therapy adds a respectful, nonjudgmental frame so people feel heard while they try new ways of coping. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about making a change.
Solution-Focused methods are used to set small, achievable steps toward what matters most to each person. Kelly aims to work together with clear goals and simple tools. She supports people through both sudden life events and long-running struggles, helping them build routines and habits that reduce stress and increase stability over time.
Using Practical Approaches Online
Kelly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood, which can help with sleep, eating, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals and experience, creating a respectful space to try out changes.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy techniques to teach brief, everyday practices that reduce reactivity and improve attention. These methods are presented as options to try rather than rules, and the therapist works with each person to decide what fits their needs and preferences. Figuring out the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process that adjusts as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people maintain visual connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching between sessions, or when written reflection feels most helpful. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people use care in ways that fit daily life.
