More about Kelli

- LMFT
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have had the privilege of working with all types of individuals during my career. For the past 13 years I have had extensive working with military veterans, families, and those who have experienced trauma which continues to affect them. My approach to therapy is eclectic. I integrate evidence-based techniques in CBT, DBT, CPT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care with a focus on increasing resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful change. Whether it's navigating relationships, overcoming trauma, or addressing persistent behavioral cycles, I am dedicated to walking with my clients as they realize their strengths and move toward healing and growth. My approach is taken from a variety of evidence-based practices that have been successful in working with trauma and addiction. When working with couples, I typically use Behavior Couples Therapy and CBT to address negative patterns and accentuate positive ones. Functional Family therapy addresses behaviors of children that affect the family system and used with contingency management, it is effective for productive change and increased communication. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, trauma, and abuse. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- 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.
