Kelley Sullivan

Kelley Sullivan is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience helping people through hard times. She practices in Colorado and works with adults who face issues like anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and addictions. Kelley speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

Kelley shapes each session around the person in front of her. She keeps things straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on clearer thinking, safer ways of relating, and tools to manage strong feelings. She avoids one-size-fits-all plans and instead adapts strategies to a person's needs and circumstances.

Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. Those methods are used to help with habits, upsetting thoughts, painful memories, and problems connecting with others. Kelley also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered ideas when they fit a person's goals.

People come for help with specific problems like trouble sleeping, body image, parenting stress, or career strain. Others come to heal from past abuse, address identity and intimacy issues, or manage mood conditions including bipolar disorder. Kelley also supports concerns around adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and codependency.

The practice is collaborative and paced to each person. Kelley will work with clients to build skills, test new behaviors, and notice what helps in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and identifying values to guide meaningful action. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and persistent avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings connect, and teaches concrete skills for changing upsetting patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood problems, and sleep issues. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns of relating and how early relationships shape current connections, helping people who struggle with intimacy, trust, or recovery from relational trauma.

Kelley aims to figure out the right approach together. She treats the choice of method as a collaborative process and adjusts techniques to match each person's goals, rhythm, and preferences. Expect a mix of conversation, targeted skill-building, and real-world experiments chosen together.

Specific session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy useful because it makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduces travel time, and allows shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make practicing new skills in everyday settings more immediate. Licensed professionals can adapt methods such as ACT and CBT to work well over distance while helping clients test changes between sessions.
