About Kelley
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She combines Client-Centered Therapy with evidence-based tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Kelley uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas as needed to help clients manage strong emotions and improve connections with others.
Kelley has five years of counseling experience and holds an LPC credential in Virginia. She aims to respond to messages several times a day and can accommodate evening or weekend replies when requested. That responsiveness is part of how she stays accessible to busy adults.
In sessions she listens first, then helps people set clear, manageable goals. Treatment often includes learning new coping skills, practicing emotional regulation techniques, and testing small behavior changes between meetings. Kelley encourages gradual steps so progress feels realistic.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without being driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck after trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, depression, and obsessive worries. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist reflects your experience and supports your own problem solving.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Kelley collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She may blend elements of ACT, CBT, and client-centered work over time so sessions stay practical and responsive to what actually helps.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to practice skills in real-life settings between sessions. Kelley aims to be responsive by checking messages frequently and offering evening or weekend replies when requested, which can help keep progress moving while fitting therapy into everyday life.
