About Kelly

Kelly Lambie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She has worked as a mental health counselor since 2010 and brings 13 years of experience to sessions. Kelly takes a straightforward, calm approach and focuses on practical steps parents and adults can use day to day.

She trained at Walden University and holds a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling. Kelly also earned national board recognition as a Nationally Certified Counselor, which she uses alongside her LPC credential to guide care.

Background and approach

Her background includes three years as a behavioral counselor working in homes and eight years as an Emergency Medical Technician, experiences that shaped her calm presence. In session, Kelly blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals.

The work often involves identifying manageable changes and practicing new skills between meetings. Kelly often supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar disorder, relationship and family issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and LGBT matters.

Additional focuses include first responder issues, life purpose, self-love, and young adult challenges. Her style is steady and practical. Sessions aim to be a place for honest conversation and action steps.

Clients schedule around availability and use formats like video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to connect.

How therapy approaches translate online

Kelly uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation. This approach helps people feel heard and build confidence to name what matters most.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress because it targets practical strategies to feel better day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly treats choosing methods as a collaborative process and will help clients decide what fits their goals and preferences. Together they set clear, achievable goals and adjust methods as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families and adults. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text messaging can fit brief check-ins or moments when talking aloud is hard. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills between sessions.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
