About Kelly

How Kelly works
Sessions focus on building skills people can use between appointments. Her background includes two master’s degrees and earlier work as a paralegal, which influenced her practical problem-solving style. She moved to Florida in 2014 and has worked in clinical settings since then.
That mix of life and work experience shapes how she talks through issues with clients. Kelly uses approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. She adapts these tools to what a person needs in the moment, whether that means practicing new thinking patterns, building motivation, or finding small steps that lead to change.
Sessions cover a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting stress, career questions, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and substance use issues. Kelly explains options in plain language and helps people choose what to try first.

Online support options
Approaches that fit online sessions
Kelly commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy helps people notice the present moment and develop simple attention and breathing skills to manage intense emotions and improve focus. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly works with each person to clarify goals and preferences, then adapts methods to what seems most helpful. Together they try techniques, review what works, and adjust the plan over time. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when a longer session or visual cues are useful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to keep momentum between sessions, ask brief questions, or check in after trying a new skill. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving forward.Start online instead of waiting
