About Kelley
Kelley Kramer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and mood concerns. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, self-esteem issues, ADHD, and the fallout of major life changes. Kelley writes in a warm, straightforward way and welcomes honest conversation about hard topics.
She approaches work in a practical, down-to-earth manner. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on skills people can use between meetings.
How Kelley works
Kelley uses a mix of proven methods to suit different concerns and personalities. She aims to help people make small, steady changes that add up over time. With five years of clinical experience as an LPC, Kelley has worked with adults facing a wide range of challenges.
That includes trauma and abuse, grief, panic and phobias, obsessive or compulsive patterns, and mood disorders such as bipolar depression. She also addresses first responder and veteran issues, compassion fatigue, and the effects of natural or human-caused disasters. Her style blends acceptance-based ideas with practical behavior-focused tools.
Kelley draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and a client-centered approach. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She offers several online session formats so people can choose what fits their routine.
Messages are generally checked multiple times per day, with evening and weekend responses when requested. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and then commit to actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, chronic stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, phobias, and obsessive thinking. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses and improving how people connect with important feelings, which can help with grief, relationship distress, and processing trauma.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelley will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful to the individual. She often blends methods so the work fits current needs and changes over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and deeper interaction. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to send quick updates, practice skills between sessions, or fit therapy into a busy day. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
