About Kelly
Her work emphasizes a person-centered, trauma-informed, and holistic perspective that encourages self-compassion and meaningful growth. Kelly focuses on concerns such as social anxiety, workplace stress, chronic pain and illness, family dynamics, and issues commonly affecting women’s mental health. She draws on this range of experience to help clients break patterns of isolation, manage shame and guilt, and explore questions of life purpose and self-worth.
Kelly creates a supportive space where people can examine their experiences, build resilience, and develop practical tools for daily living. She combines empathy with evidence-informed approaches to guide each person toward clearer goals and improved emotional well-being. Under Washington state law, she may only provide services to individuals who are located in Washington at the time of their sessions.
Approaches for Online Care and Emotional Growth
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on values-driven action. It supports coping with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and life transitions by teaching acceptance strategies and practical steps toward what matters most.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotion. It can be useful for addressing family of origin issues, relationship struggles, loneliness, and the effects of past relational trauma by helping clients develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with more adaptive patterns. CBT is commonly used for mood disorders, panic and social anxiety, and stress-related problems because it offers concrete tools for changing day-to-day thinking and behavior.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Kelly works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts methods over time so the approach fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to connect with licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into busy schedules, and access support when it is needed most.
