Felice Kelley (Kelley-Ware)

Felice Kelley (Kelley-Ware) is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with ten years of clinical counseling experience and a longer background in teaching. She helps people facing career setbacks, major life changes, grief, stress, anxiety, and anger. Her approach is direct and compassionate, and she encourages people to take the first step toward help when they feel ready.

Felice aims to make sessions feel straightforward and nonjudgmental. She creates space for clients to talk about difficult memories, adoption-related issues, trauma, and relationship distress. Sessions focus on practical steps that people can try between meetings as well as what comes up during conversation.

She draws on client-centered therapy to keep the work focused on each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thinking that get in the way and to test new ways of coping. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused strategies help clients set goals and find workable next steps.

Felice also works with a wide range of life concerns beyond those already mentioned, including parenting strain, caregiver stress, substance issues, and questions of life purpose. She uses simple language and concrete strategies rather than jargon. People who want a down-to-earth counselor who listens and helps set achievable goals often find her style helpful.

Her practice accepts English-speaking clients and she takes international clients as well. To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the available options.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings. It helps clients feel heard and shapes work around their priorities, which fits well with online conversations and goal setting.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple exercises to try different responses. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and behavior patterns that people want to change.

Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation in small steps. It pairs well with goal-setting and follow-up work between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration can change over time as goals shift.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up check-ins that help keep progress on track. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings to save bandwidth or fit therapy into a lunch break, so discussing practical session arrangements is encouraged when scheduling.
