About Kelly

Kelly Bennett is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana. She practices a client-centered style that focuses on what matters most to each person. Kelly helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family strains, parenting concerns, and issues like ADHD or addictions.

Her work aims to help people meet their needs in healthier ways so daily life feels more manageable. She uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses.

Background and approach

Narrative Therapy helps people name and reframe difficult experiences so those events feel less defining. Solution-Focused techniques are used to set small, clear goals and build momentum toward change. Kelly draws on three years of professional experience as an LMHC.

She has supported people with mood disorders, panic and social anxiety, OCD and obsessive patterns, postpartum depression, and trauma-related concerns. She also has experience with family of origin issues, fertility and postpartum challenges, and women's issues. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat, or messaging.

Cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. For parents or caregivers worried about relationships or family stress, Kelly aims for short, focused work that fits into busy lives. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.

The first steps are practical and straightforward, and Kelly will collaborate on next steps once work begins.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Kelly uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a calm, respectful space where a person guides the pace and topics of conversation. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and wants support in discovering their own solutions.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, panic, and many daily stressors by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus on changing thinking patterns, reframing personal stories, or setting small achievable goals.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and caregivers. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove travel needs, and live chat or text-based messaging lets people check in between visits. These options make it easier to fit short, focused sessions into a packed schedule while still using the therapist's chosen approaches.

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.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
