Kelly Clyde, LMHC - Therapist in New York

About Kelly

Kelly Clyde is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns. She practices in New York and brings five years of clinical experience to conversations about life changes, parenting, grief, and addictive behaviors. Her tone is warm and straightforward, aimed at parents and adults looking for practical support.

She focuses on making the room feel safe for honest talk. Kelly listens without judgment and helps clients name what feels most troubling.

Background and approach

She aims to make each session about small, doable steps rather than big, vague promises. Kelly uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for managing intense emotions.

Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in to help clients notice patterns and find internal reasons to change. Sessions tend to be practical and skills-focused. Clients can expect to leave with specific strategies for sleeping better, coping with stress, improving communication, or managing cravings.

Kelly helps shape plans that fit daily life and parenting responsibilities. Her approach is collaborative. She works with each person to set realistic goals and adjust methods as needed.

The aim is steady progress, with clear next steps after each meeting.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit daily life

Kelly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotional regulation and coping skills when emotions feel overwhelming. These methods are explained in simple terms and practiced as concrete skills during sessions.

Finding the right approach is something she does together with each client. Early meetings focus on goals, what has helped before, and what feels doable in daily life. From there she suggests methods and adjusts them based on the client's needs, preferences, and progress.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. This makes it easier to work on sleep, stress, communication, or parenting strategies without long commutes. The flexible formats let clients try different ways of meeting and keep therapy integrated into everyday routines.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
