Dr. Anthony Kelley, LMFT

Dr. Anthony Kelley is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 16 years of clinical experience. He brings a background as a U.S. Army chaplain to his counseling work and focuses on trauma, relationship concerns, grief, family stress, and self-esteem. He uses a respectful and compassionate manner to help people take the first steps toward change.

He often works with people who have experienced abuse, dissociation, or other trauma. He uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, among other approaches, to address traumatic memories and their effects. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

His style is pragmatic and person-centered. Conversations tend to be direct but warm, with attention to safety and pacing. He helps people build skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication at home and work.

Dr. Kelley also focuses on attachment and relationship patterns. He draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people notice repetitive interaction styles and try new ways of relating. Solution-focused techniques are used when people want concrete steps and short-term goals.

He tailors treatment plans to the individual and works collaboratively to set goals. The emphasis is on steady progress and practical strategies for daily life. Prospective clients in Florida should confirm current session options before booking.

Approaches that translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice how early connections shape current relationships. Online sessions can be used to identify these patterns and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and pace, with the therapist offering empathy and support while the client leads the topics. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and bonding needs, helping people understand and shift interaction cycles in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose or blend methods based on goals, comfort, and how someone responds in early sessions. That shared decision-making helps tailor a plan that fits the problem and the person.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into busy lives. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from quieter surroundings or while on a break from work. Therapists can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions, making progress through conversation, guided practices, and step-by-step tasks.
