About Kelli
Kelli Johnson is a licensed professional counselor (LCMHC, LPC) practicing from Wyoming. She has eight years of clinical experience and brings a calm, practical approach to conversations about distressing life events. Kelli aims to meet people where they are and help them make usable changes one step at a time.
Her background blends talk-based work with body-focused practices. She uses Somatic methods alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed ideas, client-centered listening, and existential questions.
Background and approach
Kelli also draws on mindfulness, breath work, narrative techniques, and reading recommendations when they fit a person's needs. In sessions she treats problems such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress, addictions, and difficulties with intimacy or relationships. She also helps people struggling with body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and life transitions like divorce or midlife questions.
The focus is on practical skills and clearer perspective rather than labels. She describes the counseling relationship as a collaboration. Clients set goals and she offers tools, choices, and gentle challenge.
Work may include exploring the story a person tells themselves, noticing how the body holds emotion, and trying small actions that support values and coping. Kelli presents herself as warm and straightforward. Conversations are paced to the individual's comfort.
The aim is to build resilience, increase self-compassion, and create more intentional movement through life.
Approaches that work with body and meaning online
Somatic-informed work pays attention to how feelings show up in the body. It uses gentle movement, breath awareness, and noticing physical sensations to help reduce tension and increase presence. This can help with anxiety, stress, and trauma-related symptoms that feel stuck in the body.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values. It offers simple exercises to reduce avoidance and build committed action, which can help with depression, worry, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of connection people learned early on and how those patterns affect current relationships. It helps people understand relational habits and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Sessions can combine talking, mindfulness, body-based exercises, and practical homework as needed.
Online therapy makes those choices easier to access. Video calls offer a face-to-face feel, phone sessions provide flexibility, and live chat or text messaging can support check-ins and short coaching between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and continue work from wherever they are.
