About Kelley
Kelley Sullivan is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience. She works from Colorado and offers therapy in English and Spanish. Kelley focuses on making therapy practical and understandable for people dealing with heavy life stressors.
She draws on several well-known approaches to help people cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship pain. Sessions aim to help clients build coping skills, improve communication, and manage intense emotions.
How Kelley works
Kelley pays attention to how past attachment experiences shape current patterns and relationships. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens for what matters to each person and then offers tools that fit their life.
That might include noticing patterns of thinking, practicing new behaviors, or learning emotion-regulation skills. Kelley also supports people facing grief, addiction, body image struggles, parenting stress, chronic illness, career challenges, and identity concerns including LGBT issues. She blends talk therapy with skill-building to help people take steps they can use between sessions.
Therapy is offered through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. International clients may be seen. To begin, a person selects Start Therapy, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.

Online support options
How Kelley’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without being pushed around by them. It focuses on values and small actions someone can take toward a life that matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connections and helps people develop more supported ways of relating to others.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelley will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try approaches and adapt as needed so the work fits day-to-day life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when messaging fits better into a busy schedule. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, travel, or family routines.
