About Kelly
Kelly Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 13 years of clinical experience based in Kentucky. She draws on practical counseling skills learned as a clinician, educator, and business owner. Kelly focuses on helping people sort through stress, addiction, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges.
Her work emphasizes clear, usable tools rather than abstract theory. In sessions she uses straightforward cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and change day-to-day habits.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most and act in ways that support their values. Solution-Focused Therapy helps keep work goal-oriented and manageable. Kelly favors a strengths-based way of working that looks for what already helps a person cope.
She explains thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in plain language and teaches simple skills to manage symptoms and make steady progress. Parents can expect concrete strategies for sleep, eating, anger, and household stress. Her approach blends education with practical exercises and short-term goals.
She talks through coping skills, relapse prevention for substance concerns, and ways to rebuild trust after relationship problems. Sessions aim to leave people feeling more capable of handling the next challenge. Kelly uses a coach-like focus when needed, supporting work and career decisions alongside emotional growth.
She emphasizes small, sustained changes rather than sudden fixes. The result is a clear plan and steps a person can use between sessions.
Therapy approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even with difficult thoughts or feelings present. It focuses on building a meaningful life rather than chasing symptom-free moments.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is practical and task-oriented. It looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches specific exercises to change unhelpful patterns that keep stress, anxiety, or depression active.
Solution-Focused Therapy keeps work short and goal-directed by identifying small changes that produce noticeable improvements. That approach suits people who want focused sessions with clear next steps.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options let people fit sessions around parenting, work, or caregiving responsibilities. The variety of formats also makes it easier to continue work consistently when life gets busy.
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.
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.
