Kelly Mitchell , LPCC

Kelly Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 13 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. She brings a strengths-based perspective to each case while blending practical cognitive-behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking patterns and build resilient coping skills.

Kelly holds national certifications as a Nationally Certified Counselor and as a Master Addictions Counselor, and she practices as an LPCC. The LPCC designation means she is a licensed professional qualified to provide clinical counseling, while the national and addictions credentials reflect additional training in counseling and substance use treatment.

Her background includes roles as a counselor, educator, and business owner, which contribute to a well-rounded approach that considers personal, professional, and systemic factors. Kelly emphasizes education and self-understanding so clients can learn how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and gain practical tools to improve daily functioning and long-term well-being.

Grounded in the belief that shifting thought patterns can change a person’s experience, Kelly combines evidence-based methods with a collaborative, client-centered stance to support growth, satisfaction, and sustained change.

Clinical Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Kelly Mitchell integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping clients accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to actions that move them toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kelly works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore which strategies feel most useful and adjust the plan over time to reflect progress and changing priorities.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier for clients to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations, supporting continuity of care when life circumstances make in-person visits difficult.
