Kelly Conlon

Kelly Conlon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working in Georgia. She helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, eating and body-image concerns, and the fallout of major life changes. Her approach aims to make everyday life feel more manageable and meaningful.

Kelly keeps sessions warm and down-to-earth. She creates a nonjudging space where people can talk honestly and practice new ways of coping. She uses straightforward tools and a bit of humor to help clients feel more capable and confident.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in Childhood and Family Development from the University of Georgia and a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. Kelly has worked in hospitals, residential and outpatient eating disorder centers, substance abuse treatment programs, and private practice settings.

Over eight years in mental health have given her experience with a wide range of concerns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and a client-centered stance. Kelly adapts these approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than offering a one-size-fits-all plan.

Outside of work she enjoys hiking, traveling, cooking, reading, and time with family and her pets. That balance helps her bring practical energy and real-life examples into sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work fits

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter. It helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed by painful thoughts, or unsure what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many everyday problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and communication and can help with trust, closeness, and long-term relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and personality. She adapts techniques rather than sticking rigidly to one model, so clients can try things and shift course as needed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since session options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also helps people use tools and worksheets during the session and practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can adjust pace and exercises to match what works for each person, whether that means focused skill practice, values-based work, or exploring relationship patterns.
