Remote sessions and therapeutic methods
Kelly offers online care using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She maintains a client-centered stance in remote sessions, inviting clients to set priorities and shape the direction of their work while integrating structured skills and processing tools as appropriate.
Common approaches described in her profile include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is framed as a way to examine thinking and behavior patterns and to practice alternative strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is presented as a method for learning emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. EMDR is included as a trauma-focused option for exploring and processing difficult memories when clients and therapist identify it as a fit.
These methods are offered within a collaborative format that blends skills practice, reflective exploration, and targeted reprocessing when indicated. Remote appointments can be scheduled through the platform and conducted by the communication method that best fits each person’s needs.
