How these approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and on what matters to the person in front of the therapist. Kelley aims to build a trusting working relationship and follow the client's priorities while helping them find usable approaches for stress and anxiety.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and try small experiments to change them. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger because it teaches practical skills like thought records and behavior changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce overwhelm in the moment. It pairs well with CBT by helping people tolerate distress while they test new ways of thinking and acting.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Kelley will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, family, or other commitments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or recorded skill practices that fit into daily life while keeping therapy focused on coping and real-world change.
