About Kelly

Kelly Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 13 years of experience in the field. She brings practical, down-to-earth guidance to people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship or intimacy concerns.

Kelly uses a strengths-focused stance while helping people learn how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She emphasizes skills from cognitive-behavioral methods and other approaches to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.

Her background includes work as a counselor, educator, and business owner, which she says adds a real-world perspective to sessions. That mix informs her interest in problems like career strain, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to addiction and recovery.

Clients who come for help with grief, trauma, or navigating major life changes can expect clear, goal-oriented conversations. She also addresses issues such as ADHD, sleep or eating concerns, impulsivity, and isolation by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Kelly aims to teach practical tools people can use after a session ends. She focuses on helping clients gain self-understanding and build daily habits that support long-term change. Her approach is collaborative and action-minded, with attention to the person’s values and priorities.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Kelly commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking steps that match what matters most, which can help with issues like anxiety, grief, or trouble finding motivation. CBT centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and some addiction-related patterns.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to keep conversations goal-oriented and practical, concentrating on small, doable changes that move a person toward clearer daily routines and improved coping. The choice of approach is collaborative - the therapist helps clients pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level during early sessions.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to practice new skills between meetings and to build routines that carry into everyday life.
