Kelly Schettini , LPC

Kelly Schettini is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 16 years of experience. She approaches therapy from the perspective that many people already carry solutions to their challenges and often benefit from guidance to bring those answers into clearer view. Her training in clinical mental health and school counseling supports a flexible use of therapeutic methods, including client-centered (person-centered) work, solution-focused techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, and logotherapy, tailored to each person’s needs.

Kelly views the decision to begin therapy as a meaningful act of self-care and strength. She seeks to build an honest, respectful space where clients can be genuine while also being invited to stretch toward their goals. Her style balances acceptance with gentle challenge, aiming to meet individuals where they are and support progress through practical strategies and reflective exploration.

As an LPC - a state credential that indicates preparation and licensure to practice professional counseling - Kelly brings a combination of clinical knowledge and real-world experience to help clients navigate life transitions, relationships, grief, and issues related to self-esteem and purpose.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Kelly Schettini uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person’s experience, offering empathetic listening and support that helps clients feel understood and empowered to find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns by teaching practical skills that can be practiced between sessions. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple awareness practices, which can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation across a range of life challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work, and Kelly collaborates with clients to determine which methods match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the work remains focused and relevant.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, geographic constraints, or caregiving responsibilities. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills in daily life, while allowing therapists and clients to connect in ways that fit the client’s routine and needs.
