Jessica Kelley

Jessica Kelley is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Alabama with eight years of clinical experience. She began her work in psychiatric hospital settings at age 18 and has remained committed to helping people since then.

She earned her degree from California Baptist University in 2013 and has provided care in several states while relocating with her enlisted-military husband and their two children. Much of her work has taken place in high-crisis environments, supporting adolescents, young adults, and their families through acute challenges.

Her clinical background includes treating trauma, anxiety, depression, psychosis, abuse and neglect, parenting difficulties, stress, and relationship conflicts. Her approach is supportive, empathetic, warm, goal-oriented, and centered on the client.

Jessica uses evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, alongside Christian/Biblical counseling and life coaching techniques when appropriate. Her personal style is laid-back and genuine; she avoids academic jargon and speaks plainly while offering honest feedback, practical suggestions, and perspective to help clients make decisions that suit their situation.

She encourages clients to be vocal about their needs and therapy goals, and she looks forward to connecting with prospective clients who are ready to begin work together.
