Remote therapy tailored to values and practical change
Kelli uses a blend of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered principles to structure online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports noticing thoughts and feelings without being driven by them and clarifying personal values to guide action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop alternative strategies for managing mood, anxiety, and sleep. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, respectful therapeutic relationship that centers the individual’s perspective.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused work may be introduced when clients are orienting toward specific changes; these approaches help set realistic goals and build momentum through small steps. Mindfulness-based practices can be taught to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Kelli frames these methods in everyday language and partners with clients to choose which techniques fit their priorities.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how people connect and engage with the therapeutic process.
