Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Kellye often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early bonding and relational patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses; this approach can be useful for attachment concerns, intimacy issues, and family dynamics. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes empathic listening and the client's own goals to foster self-understanding and personal growth, a helpful fit for stress, life transitions, and self-esteem work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool in her practice, offering concrete strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and coping difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kellye works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on progress and feedback so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home or work while working toward meaningful change.
