Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Kelly integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting clients where they are so goals emerge from the client’s own priorities; it helps with motivation, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and mood instability.Kelly also uses mindfulness techniques to help clients notice thoughts and bodily experiences with less reactivity, which can support emotion regulation and coping with stress. Determining the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process - Kelly collaborates with each client to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences so the work feels relevant and achievable.
Online therapy with Kelly is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, varied comfort levels, and changing life demands. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals when in-person visits are not convenient, allowing clients to continue momentum toward their goals from locations that suit them.
