About Callie

Callie Quillen is a licensed professional counselor clinical (LPCC) based in Kentucky who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, and addictions. She aims to make therapy approachable and practical. Callie listens first and helps parents and other adults find clearer ways to cope and communicate.

Her style is warm and straightforward, with an emphasis on small, usable changes clients can try between sessions. In sessions she uses plain language to set goals and track progress.

Background and approach

Callie draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support change when clients feel stuck and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify realistic next steps. With four years of experience, Callie has worked with people facing family problems, addiction, career stress, and ADHD-related challenges.

She also addresses caregiver strain, chronic illness, grief, and issues that come with aging or cancer. Her approach balances practical tools with a compassionate listening stance. Clients can expect a collaborative relationship that centers their priorities.

Callie helps people break big problems into manageable pieces. She supports clearer communication, healthier routines, and problem-solving around family roles and responsibilities. Therapy sessions are available in English and are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Callie holds Kentucky LPCC number 296112 and tailors work to each person’s needs and pace.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Callie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to address everyday problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns by teaching practical skills and homework to practice between sessions. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that explores ambivalence and builds personal motivation for change, which can be helpful for addictions or when someone feels stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Callie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there she suggests techniques and checks in regularly to adapt the plan based on progress and feedback, making adjustments as needed in a collaborative way.

Online sessions take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to meet from home, during a break, or while caring for family. The range of formats supports flexible follow-up, quick check-ins, and ongoing skill practice between longer sessions, so therapy can fit busy family life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
