About Kelly
Kelly Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, and a range of life changes. Kelly uses clear, practical guidance so people can make steady progress toward their goals.
She favors a strengths-based stance that highlights what is working in a person's life. She combines that with straightforward cognitive-behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on small, concrete steps that add up to noticeable change. Kelly draws on experience as a counselor, educator, and business owner to offer a direct and organized approach. That background shapes how she frames problems and sets achievable goals with each person.
She emphasizes teaching simple skills that can be used between sessions. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including mood and anxiety, substance use, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy struggles, ADHD, caregiver stress, and issues related to self-esteem and identity. She also supports people dealing with career pressure, burnout, or first responder stress.
People who prefer practical tools and clear feedback may find her style helpful. She aims to build self-understanding about thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and then translate that insight into ongoing daily habits. Kelly helps people take manageable steps toward a better quality of life.
How Kelly’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values, then take actions that match what matters. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) aims to change unhelpful thinking and behavior by using practical exercises and homework. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable goals and building on existing strengths to make quick, useful changes.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly works with each person to identify goals and tries methods that fit their preferences and day-to-day life. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays focused and useful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing coaching-style contact. These formats offer flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
