About

Dr. Michele Kelly is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LA LCSW 2540, MS LCSW C10142) practicing in Louisiana with 15 years of clinical experience. She has worked with children, adolescents, and families and now focuses primarily on helping teens and adults navigate difficult life transitions.

Life brings many changes - adjusting to college, starting a first job, changing or losing employment, relocating, getting married, welcoming and parenting a new baby, separating or divorcing, retiring, grieving the loss of a loved one, or adapting to life as an immigrant or ex-pat. Even positive transitions can create stress and contribute to anxiety or depression.

Dr. Kelly takes an eclectic, evidence-informed approach, drawing on methods such as solution-focused brief therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and cognitive behavior therapy. She begins with a thorough assessment and then selects the strategies that best fit each client, since tailoring therapy can improve outcomes.

Working together, she helps clients build or strengthen coping skills and problem-solving strategies to better manage current challenges and future stressors. She maintains flexible hours to accommodate varied work schedules and encourages prospective clients to reach out with questions. Dr. Kelly looks forward to the possibility of working together.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether online therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or managing life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

One of the main advantages is flexibility - clients can connect in the format that works best for them, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and daily routines.

All therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch providers if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, online therapy offers a practical and effective way to access skilled mental health support without changing the core benefits of treatment.
