Lauren Kelly, LMFT

Lauren Kelly is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 26 years of clinical experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate a wide range of life challenges. She brings a relationship-focused perspective to therapy, drawing on extensive work with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting, intimacy issues, and other life transitions. Her practice emphasizes restoring connection and building life balance, meeting clients where they are and working collaboratively toward where they want to be.

Known for an authentic, non-judgmental, and honest style, Lauren blends warmth and a sense of humor with practical clinical skills. She has particular experience supporting recovery from trauma, processing grief and loss, and repairing fractured relationships. As a family therapist she applies systems-oriented thinking that often offers perspectives individual therapists may not provide, which can be especially helpful for couples and blended families.

Lauren is based in Georgia and offers sessions Monday through Friday via live chat, asynchronous texting, phone, or video. She often lives and travels in a small motorhome across the West and Southwest, so her time zone may vary - an arrangement some clients find beneficial. She has lived in California, Wisconsin, Utah, Arizona, Georgia, and Alaska, including time in Barrow at the Top of the World, and brings those varied life experiences to her work with clients.
