About Kelly
Her work combines practical skill-building with gentle exploration of underlying issues. She uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotion-focused methods help people understand and name strong feelings, and EMDR-informed steps are used when trauma memories are getting in the way of daily life.
Kelly has experience supporting military veterans, first responders, and people on the autism spectrum. She also addresses parenting stress, grief, compassion fatigue, chronic pain and illness, attachment concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. Her practice includes attention to abandonment and post-traumatic stress issues.
She offers a faith-informed perspective when that is helpful to the person in therapy. That means spiritual beliefs can be part of the conversation if the client wants that included. Kelly focuses on helping people find coping tools and build resilience for everyday life.
To begin, she asks questions about current struggles and goals, then tailors sessions to what each person needs. The emphasis is on steady progress, practical strategies, and helping people feel more in control of their reactions and relationships.

How these approaches work in online care
Kelly frequently uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often applied to anxiety, anger, and everyday stress by practicing new ways of thinking and testing them in daily life.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify, name, and move through strong emotions. EFT-style work supports clearer emotional understanding and helps people respond differently to relational or internal triggers.
EMDR-informed and trauma-focused steps are used when past events continue to cause distress. Those approaches aim to reduce the power of upsetting memories and teach grounding and coping tools for when memories flare up.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before recommending techniques. She adjusts methods over time so the work fits the person rather than forcing one style.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. Talk with the therapist about scheduling, session length, and how to shape remote sessions to match daily routines.
