About Kelly Meissner
Her therapeutic style blends positive psychology with a range of modalities tailored to each person's needs. She integrates hypnotherapy, Enneagram-informed perspectives, inner child and parts work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused techniques, and existential exploration to address repeating patterns and the unconscious influences that keep people stuck. Rather than getting caught in overthinking, Kelly guides clients toward practical awareness and new ways of responding.
She has a strong interest in insight-oriented practices such as mindfulness, meditation, and clinical hypnosis. Kelly became a Certified Hypnotherapist through the National Guild of Hypnotists in 2016 and has completed extensive clinical hypnosis training with the Minnesota Society of Clinical Hypnosis, totaling over 200 hours. She incorporates hypnotherapy alongside talk therapy to help uncover and work through unconscious blocks that maintain unwanted patterns.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Kelly Meissner commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their inner experiences, clarify personal values, and take committed action toward what matters - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping strategies, often used for depression, panic, and sleep difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and a collaborative, nonjudgmental stance that supports self-exploration and self-acceptance.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kelly works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and combines approaches so that therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy with Kelly is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or on the go, support continuity of care during life changes, and allow for varied ways of communicating depending on what helps each person engage most effectively.
