About Kelley

Kelley Turner uses a warm, client-centered way of working to help people manage stress and anxiety. She is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who has practiced in Ohio since 2005. Her style is straightforward and supportive, focusing on what a person wants to change and how to get there.

She has about 20 years of experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. That background informs practical strategies for common struggles like low mood, low self-esteem, or trouble with motivation.

Background and approach

She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting concerns, anger, and career stress. Kelley blends evidence-based methods to match each person’s needs. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work.

Sessions aim to identify useful skills and small, doable steps rather than long lectures. She acknowledges that some clinical concerns require in-person care and will discuss options when safety is a concern. The aim is to build a respectful space where feelings and ideas can be talked through without judgment.

Kelley focuses on helping people find manageable ways to feel more in control and more hopeful. For parents scanning this listing, Kelley lists family and parenting among her focus areas and can address related stresses and communication problems. Her approach is calm, practical, and centered on each person’s goals.

Online approaches that match your needs

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and move toward those values even when unpleasant feelings show up. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes because it emphasizes workable steps instead of trying to eliminate feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, low motivation, and problems that hurt daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and patterns in close relationships, helping people understand and change how they respond to strong feelings and to each other.

Kelley approaches treatment as a collaboration. She will talk with each person about what feels most important and try different methods to find the best fit. Together they set goals and choose techniques that match the client’s needs, preferences, and pace.

Online sessions offer flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and let people access support from home. Kelley uses these options to provide consistent, practical care while focusing on skills and steps clients can use between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
