Kelly Muratorri, LPC, LMHC - Therapist in Iowa

About Kelly

Kelly Muratorri uses practical, evidence-based therapies to help people manage strong emotions and stressful life events. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC. Kelly brings seven years of experience and a straightforward style to sessions.

She is based in Iowa and provides services in English. Clients come for help with anxiety, depression, anger, and grief. Kelly also works with people facing trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and the challenges that follow illness or chronic pain.

Background and approach

Parenting and relationship concerns are part of her focus when those topics come up in a person's life. Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed techniques such as EMDR. In a typical session she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, practice new ways of responding, and process difficult memories at a pace that feels manageable.

Kelly also has experience supporting people connected to the military and first responder communities, and those navigating attachment or abandonment issues. She integrates those experiences into practical plans for daily life and coping skills. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

International clients are accepted and pricing varies by location and subscription choices. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Kelly often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in her work. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression with practical exercises and skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, supports processing traumatic memories by using structured sets of attention and bilateral stimulation to reduce the emotional intensity of those memories.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then recommend or combine methods that fit. Progress is reviewed together and plans are adjusted as needed so the approach stays relevant to what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life gets in the way. Kelly uses these options to provide regular contact, practical skill work between sessions, and different ways to communicate depending on what feels most comfortable for the client.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
