Online support options
How Kelli’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and emotions. It can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, panic, sleep struggles, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own goals guide the work and the therapist offers empathy and reflection to foster self-understanding.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Kelli will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She blends techniques as needed and checks in regularly to adjust the plan together.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, so people can pick what fits their schedule and comfort. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat provides a quicker check-in, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain consistency and fit therapy into a busy life.
