About Kelly
Kelly Harper is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 22 years of experience helping people make practical changes in their lives. She practices in Louisiana and focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. Kelly believes people know their own stories and brings a steady, supportive presence to sessions.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients spot unhelpful patterns and try small experiments that lead to real change.
How Kelly works
Sessions often include talking through current problems, setting concrete steps, and checking progress week to week. Kelly also helps with parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and managing compassion fatigue. She supports people coping with life transitions, rebuilding self-esteem, and handling workplace or caregiving stress.
Additional areas of focus include aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family dynamics, and young adult concerns. Clients can expect a practical, collaborative style. Kelly listens for strengths, then works with each person to set clear, manageable goals.
Interventions are adapted to fit day-to-day life so change can be sustained after sessions end. If someone wants straightforward help to reduce distress and improve functioning, Kelly offers steady support and real-world tools to move forward.

How Kelly Uses Practical Therapies Online
Kelly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, then try different ways of thinking or behaving to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small, specific changes that move someone toward their goals, which can be useful for parenting issues, workplace problems, or coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then agree on which methods to try first. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what is helpful for the person in front of her.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work even when in-person visits are difficult.
