About Kellie

Kellie Knox is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with 25 years of clinical experience. She has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship challenges, parenting questions, and offers management coaching and consultation. Sessions are meant to be a place where clients can speak honestly about what’s bothering them and begin to make changes at their own pace.

Kellie keeps things practical in the room. She aims to make sessions comfortable and open.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on the issues you bring, and on small, doable steps that can reduce distress and improve daily life. Her work often touches on attachment patterns and family of origin issues. She also addresses blended family concerns, communication problems, and commitment or codependency struggles.

Fertility, gender dysphoria, and body image are additional areas she will discuss when relevant. Kellie has supported people dealing with mood disorders, dissociation, substance use, and feelings of emptiness or guilt and shame. She brings years of experience to these complex problems while keeping explanations straightforward and practical.

Therapy with Kellie can include coaching-style conversation for workplace challenges alongside more personal, relationship-focused work. Each plan is shaped to fit the person’s real-life needs and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Two evidence-based approaches often used in Kellie’s work are attachment-focused conversation and skills-based coaching. Attachment-focused conversation looks at patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current reactions; it helps when trust, closeness, or recurring conflict are concerns. Skills-based coaching focuses on practical tools for communication, stress management, and workplace challenges so people can try new behaviors between sessions.

Finding the right method is part of the process. Kellie works collaboratively to identify which approach fits a person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let people fit sessions around work and family life, review notes between meetings, or choose shorter check-ins when needed. The variety of formats helps clients access support in ways that match their schedules and daily routines.
