Darcie Kelly

Darcie Kelly is a clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people address depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders and a wide range of life-interfering stressors. She is licensed to practice clinical social work in Maine and Montana and tailors therapy to each person’s needs and preferences using training in multiple evidence-based approaches.

She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Indiana University Bloomington and a Master of Social Work from Walla Walla College in Missoula, Montana. In addition, she completed a non-terminal master’s program in Applied Behavior Analysis at Montana State University, which informs much of her work focused on behavior change.

Her clinical approach draws on a range of modalities, including solution-focused and other brief therapies, cognitive behavioral methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and principles from attachment theory. She is also knowledgeable about sexual issues as they relate to both traditional and nontraditional relationships. Darcie takes a direct approach to healing and aims to meet people where they are, whether they are just beginning to consider change or are already engaged in the process.

She brings a warm, endearing, relaxed and inviting style to sessions that is intended to make therapy feel welcoming, supportive and nonjudgmental. Integrating knowledge of brain science with psychotherapeutic techniques, Darcie offers a holistic, comprehensive approach to mental health. When someone works with her, she provides unconditional positive regard and works to help them feel supported and successful in meeting their goals.
