Kelly Clyde, LMHC

Kelly Clyde is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps with life transitions, parenting stress, career questions, and issues tied to addiction and LGBT-related stress.

Kelly keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She encourages honest talk about feelings and thoughts, then works with each person to set small, useful goals. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can try new ways of coping and problem solving.

Her approach blends methods that teach skills and build awareness. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address thinking patterns and emotional regulation. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing techniques are used to support action and strengthen commitment to change.

Kelly draws on five years of clinical experience in New York to guide conversations toward clear steps. She listens for what matters most, then helps prioritize doable changes that fit everyday life. Her style is encouraging and down-to-earth, focused on what people can do now to feel steadier.

People who reach out can expect collaborative work that balances learning practical skills with exploring the feelings underneath. Kelly supports clients through gradual change, whether the concern is in relationships, parenting, career, or coping after loss.

Online approaches that teach skills and support change

Kelly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical steps to change mood and behavior. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kelly works collaboratively to choose techniques that match someone’s goals and preferences. She listens to what is most pressing and adjusts methods so the work feels useful and doable.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing for shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to use mindfulness practices and skill coaching between meetings to reinforce changes in daily routines.
