About
Kelsy Kerrigan is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), a credential that indicates advanced training and state licensure to provide counseling services. She has been practicing since 2014 and brings extensive experience supporting children and their families, with a background in trauma, as well as emotional and behavioral concerns.
Over time, her work has grown to include a strong focus on helping caregivers and women feel calmer, more grounded, and more confident in daily life. Her style is collaborative and supportive, and she approaches therapy with curiosity and respect for each person’s lived experience. Rather than positioning herself as the one with all the answers, she partners with clients to explore what is getting in the way and to identify practical steps forward.
Drawing from attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral theory, Kelsy helps clients notice patterns in thoughts, emotions, and relationships, then challenge unhelpful beliefs that may be keeping them stuck. She also emphasizes strengths and solutions, working with clients to build on what is already working while developing new coping skills for stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, trauma-related concerns, and life transitions.

Drawing from cognitive behavioral theory (CBT), she helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, test new perspectives, and practice coping strategies that can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and navigating major life changes.She also incorporates attachment-based ideas, which focus on how early and current relationships can shape emotions, needs, and expectations. This approach can be especially helpful for caregivers, women, and anyone looking to strengthen communication, improve boundaries, or better understand emotional reactions in close relationships.
