About Kelly

Background and approach
Sessions are guided by what each person needs rather than a single fixed method. Kelly often blends body-focused work with talking therapies to help people notice how feelings show up in the body. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape current struggles.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are offered when helpful for changing unhelpful thoughts and building coping skills. The therapist pays attention to issues common among LGBTQ people, and to concerns such as self-esteem, body image, panic, and post-traumatic stress. Kelly also assists with life transitions like divorce, pregnancy and childbirth, and midlife questioning.
She aims to break problems into manageable steps so progress feels possible. Her sessions are straightforward and practical. Kelly works together with people to set clear goals and develop skills for day-to-day life.
The focus is on small, steady changes that add up over time.
How Somatic and Talk Approaches Work Online
Somatic work pays attention to how stress and emotions appear in the body, helping people notice sensations and learn simple grounding or breathing practices to reduce tension. This approach can be useful for trauma responses, anxiety, and feeling overwhelmed.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationships affect thoughts and reactions. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and collaboration. The therapist follows the person's lead, offering reflection and support while people find their own solutions to problems.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Kelly will work with each person to decide which combination of somatic awareness, relational exploration, or skills-based practice fits their goals and comfort level. That choice can shift over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client see body cues and practice breathing or grounding together. Phone sessions suit people who prefer voice-only conversations. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and skill reminders easy between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and continue steady work toward their goals.
