Felice Kelley (Kelley-Ware), LPC - Therapist in Michigan

About Felice

Felice Kelley (Kelley-Ware) is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with ten years of counseling experience. She has a background that also includes many years in teaching, and she draws on both roles when guiding people through hard transitions. Felice aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable and straightforward.

Felice creates a welcoming space where people can speak openly about work stress, grief, trauma, or changes in life direction.

Background and approach

She keeps conversations practical and focused on what matters most to each person. Her approach emphasizes listening first, then working together on next steps. Her work often involves concerns such as anxiety, depression, parenting, relationship challenges, and coping with life changes.

She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and issues around substance use and recovery. Other areas she addresses include career worries, self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges. Felice uses straightforward tools from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, among other methods, to help people notice patterns and try different strategies.

She partners with clients to set clear, achievable goals and to track progress along the way. Sessions may include coaching-style conversations, problem-solving, and skill practice tailored to each person’s needs. Felice helps clients weigh options, test new approaches, and build routines that support lasting change.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the conversation. In online sessions this means the therapist listens closely, reflects feelings, and helps clients name priorities and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be used online to practice new ways of thinking and to try behavioral experiments between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. Adjustments are made together as progress is reviewed so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet when in-person visits are not possible. Video calls let conversations feel more like face-to-face work, while phone sessions provide a simpler connection. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or when written reflection helps the person process. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit sessions into a busy 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.
