More about Kelsey
- 9 years' experience
- Female
- LMSW
I am a Licensed Social Worker who has been in the field for 5 years. I have most experience working in women’s issues, trauma, and family/couple’s therapy. I am also a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor specializing in addiction, and trained in Prolonged Exposure for treating PTSD.
I am passionate about helping people fully reach and live in their definition of wellness. My style is interactive and warm, I like to help my clients feel as comfortable as possible. I think it’s great if we can laugh in the therapy space. I use a combination of CBT, DBT skills, structured problem solving, and REBT. However, our treatment plan is driven by the client’s goals.
Starting therapy is never easy, but I hope to make it as positive of an experience as possible for each of my clients. I'm honored to go on the journey with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Kelsey is wonderful. I look forward to our weekly sessions. She is insightful and kind.
I was with Kelsey for a couple months and she was amazing and actually helped me through som serious dark time! Even after I left my therapy last month she messages to check in on me, sucks I can’t reply back unless I am subscribed but she’s amazing and highly recommend her for your healing journey 10/10
Kelsey is absolutely amazing. I feel I can share anything with her without the fear of judgement. She listens and gives great feedback and advice. She’s someone who I feel truly cares about me even just in the short span of time that we’ve been talking.
Kelsey is a very attentive counselor, she responds when you message and she is always quick to make sure you are understanding any information she gives. She is very sweet and lets you know that she’s here to help not to force you into anything. Something I extremely like about her.
