Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Kelly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside a client-centered philosophy. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings - it is useful for anxiety, depression, and persistent stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections and helps address family-of-origin issues, intimacy concerns, and trauma-related relational difficulties. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, providing a foundation for self-discovery, self-love, and purposeful change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Kelly works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to support meaningful progress.
Online therapy with Kelly is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit care into busy or changing schedules. These options increase accessibility and allow clients to engage in therapy from familiar settings while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional and continuing work on symptoms, relationships, and life goals.
