About Kent

Kent Kelley is a licensed counselor with 24 years of experience helping people navigate hard moments. He practices as an LPC and LCPC in Colorado and focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for everyday struggles. Kent listens without judgment and helps people sort what matters most.

How Kent works

Kent draws on approaches that encourage awareness, values-driven action, and better emotional regulation. He blends tools to match each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone. In sessions he uses clear language and simple practices you can try between meetings.

Expect practical skills for coping, small experiments to test new ways of behaving, and reflection to clarify what matters to you. Kent supports clients who want both short-term relief and longer-term change. He offers multiple online formats to fit busy lives, including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.

People looking to begin can use the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits their availability.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions that align with those values while learning to sit with difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships when emotions feel overwhelming.

Kent will work collaboratively to find the best fit among these approaches. He listens to what you want to achieve and suggests methods that suit your goals and style. The first few sessions are used to get a sense of what helps and to make adjustments together.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and teaching of skills. Phone sessions can be a good alternative when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep consistent contact and build progress without lots of travel or schedule disruption.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
