About Darcie
Darcie Kelly is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience. She practices in Montana and holds the LICSW and LCSW credentials. Darcie focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related concerns.

How Darcie works
Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Social Work. She also completed a non-terminal master’s program in Applied Behavior Analysis, which informs her emphasis on behavior change. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods, and mindfulness techniques.
Those tools are used to address mood disorders, panic attacks, grief, eating and body image concerns, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress among other issues. Darcie also works with people navigating relationship and intimacy questions, polyamory and non-monogamous arrangements, BDSM and kink topics, sexual assault and abuse, and the effects of domestic violence.
She includes compassion fatigue, parenting stress, and seasonal mood changes in her scope. In sessions she combines practical behavior-focused strategies with attention to emotional experience. The process is collaborative: setting goals, trying options between meetings, and adjusting the plan as needed.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches in online care
Darcie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters, accept difficult thoughts, and take committed action toward chosen values. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck when avoidance gets in the way.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors that maintain distress. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, which can help with panic attacks, mood problems, and eating-related issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting as needed over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful when visual connection matters, phone can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text works well for shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy into a busy life.
