Kelley Kramer

Kelley Kramer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and relationship concerns. Kelley speaks directly and calmly to people who feel stuck after trauma or life changes and wants to help them move forward.

She works with adults facing a range of issues. That includes mood conditions like bipolar disorder, obsessive and compulsive behavior, panic, phobias, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, first responder and veteran issues, and the fallout from sexual assault or other abuse.

Kelley uses several practical therapeutic approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, client-centered listening, and emotionally-focused methods. Sessions are aimed at skill-building, improving awareness, and changing patterns that cause pain.

Her style is approachable and responsive. Kelley says she checks messages multiple times a day and will reply evenings or weekends when requested. She encourages clear communication about goals and concerns so sessions stay focused and useful.

To begin, people complete an intake process on the site that helps match them to her. From there she and the client schedule sessions based on availability and preferences. Kelley brings five years of counseling experience to her work and keeps the conversation straightforward and goal oriented.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify what matters and take small steps toward those values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, anger, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels. It often includes homework and practical exercises to reduce symptoms like panic, depression, or obsessive thoughts.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and regulating reactions. Those skills can help with anger, mood swings, and impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kelley will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, and decide collaboratively which methods to try. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week and to use consistent strategies between meetings. Because specific session formats are not listed in her biography, confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to schedule brief check-ins, practice skills between appointments, and continue therapy while managing work or family demands.
