About Anna

Anna Lehew Kelley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction, and changes in relationships. She keeps the first sessions down-to-earth and collaborative, so clients can talk about what’s most worrying and start making small, practical changes. Many people come for help with depression, grief, parenting strain, anger, or questions about life purpose and next steps.

With 12 years of practice, Anna uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She listens for patterns in thinking and behavior, then helps clients try new ways of coping. Sessions often involve learning concrete skills for managing intense feelings and rebuilding connection with important others.

Her clinical background includes social work training and experience across a range of mental health concerns. Anna draws from tools that address trauma-related symptoms, addiction, and post-traumatic stress, applying methods that aim to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. She treats relationship conflict and parenting strain with a practical, skills-based focus.

Anna works from West Virginia and meets with people in English. She blends supportive conversation with skill practice so people leave sessions with things they can use right away. The tone in sessions is nonjudgmental and collaborative, and she encourages clients to move at a pace that feels manageable.

To get started, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Payment uses a cancellable subscription model that varies by location and therapist scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit everyday life

Anna uses Attachment-Based work to look at how early bonds influence current relationships and communication patterns. This approach helps people who want to feel closer to others and understand why they react in certain ways during conflict.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying out different behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, and the day-to-day problems that make life feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods so they fit each person’s needs. That collaborative process can include trying different tools and checking what helps most.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time that might otherwise be a barrier. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice, process trauma material at a manageable pace, and help translate strategies into everyday routines without a requirement to come into an office.
