About Kelly
Kelly Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, practicing in Kentucky with 13 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and major life changes. Her work emphasizes practical skills people can use day to day.
Kelly favors a strengths-based outlook while also using cognitive approaches to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts. She helps clients learn what drives their feelings and actions, then practices new ways to respond.
Background and approach
Sessions are grounded in clear steps and real-world strategies rather than abstract theory. Her background includes counseling, education, and running a business, which she brings together to support clients wanting change. That mix helps when addressing issues like career strain, caregiver stress, or feeling stuck.
She also works with concerns tied to identity, relationships, and trauma. Kelly uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor work to each person. She explains methods in plain language and sets goals that fit a person's life.
Progress is tracked through small, achievable steps. People who come to her often want a clear plan and practical tools. She helps them build skills for coping with anger, improving sleep and eating patterns, reducing impulses, and handling grief.
The focus is on real change that lasts.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and adjusting to life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, mood problems, sleep and eating issues, and impulsivity.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps toward clear goals and builds on what is already working. This approach is helpful for short-term concerns, problem solving, and coaching-style work.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process lets clients shape sessions to their needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets people keep face-to-face interaction, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
