More about Kelly

- LPMHC
As a licensed therapist in Delaware, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients work through depression, anxiety, social challenges, and trauma with compassion and expertise.
I'm particularly passionate about creating an affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals and those struggling with self-esteem, isolation, and shame. My approach is deeply empathetic, focusing on helping clients develop self-love, overcome social anxiety, and heal from past experiences.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I collaborate with clients to develop personalized strategies for managing panic disorder, mood challenges, and post-traumatic stress. My goal is to support you in building resilience, understanding your unique strengths, and creating meaningful pathways toward emotional wellness.
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey, and I'm committed to walking alongside you with respect, understanding, and genuine care.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
