About Anthony

He aims to meet people where they are and help them take practical steps forward. He helps people dealing with relationship strain, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. He also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, and life purpose questions.
How Anthony works
His practice includes work on infidelity, divorce and separation, and first responder stress. Dr. Kelley adapts therapy to each person’s needs.
He centers conversations on what matters most to the individual and builds a plan together. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented while keeping attention on emotions and safety. He uses several therapeutic approaches depending on the situation, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
These approaches guide interventions for trauma, relationship repair, and coping with loss or chronic stress. People who choose him usually want practical help with emotional pain and better ways to connect with others. He speaks English and practices in Florida as an LMFT.
Beginning therapy often starts with a short intake and a shared plan for next steps.

Online support options
How attachment work and trauma therapies translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. Online sessions can help identify patterns in how a person connects, and then practice new ways of relating that reduce conflict and disconnection.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work through strong emotions that affect relationships. In remote sessions the therapist helps track emotional moments and guides conversations to rebuild trust and closeness.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that processes distressing memories. Some EMDR protocols can be adapted to online formats to reduce intense symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and practical constraints, then recommends methods that fit the person's needs. That collaborative planning helps set clear steps and checkpoints as therapy progresses.
Online therapy with this clinician is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people see facial cues and stay connected when scheduling allows. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat or text messaging can help maintain momentum between longer sessions and offer flexible ways to reflect or get brief support during the week.
