About Anna
Anna Lehew Kelley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anger, relationship strain, grief, and substance concerns. She speaks plainly and offers a calm, nonjudgmental space for someone who feels nervous about starting therapy. Her first aim is to understand what feels most urgent for the person sitting across from her.
With 12 years of practice, Anna focuses on finding root causes rather than quick fixes.
Background and approach
She uses collaborative conversation to pinpoint unhelpful thinking and teaches practical skills to manage strong emotions. Sessions often include skills practice and real-world steps to change difficult patterns. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh and licensure as an LCSW.
That combination guides a clinical style that blends talk therapy with targeted techniques. She draws on approaches that address trauma, relationship issues, and addictive behavior. When trauma is part of the story, Anna can use methods aimed at reducing the hold painful memories have on daily life.
For relationship difficulties she helps people improve communication and rebuild trust. For overwhelming emotions like anger or anxiety, she emphasizes skill-building to reduce reactivity and increase choices. People who want straightforward guidance and practical tools tend to do well with her style.
She offers sessions from West Virginia and connects through several online formats. Her work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early connections shape current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in closeness, trust, and reactivity and learn new ways to connect and feel safer with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions together; it teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used when past events continue to cause distress; it aims to reduce the emotional charge of painful memories so they interfere less with daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences. Together they will decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the work collaborative and goal-focused.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make work fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of skills, while phone sessions can be a good shorter option or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use messaging for brief updates and exercises. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family, or other demands.
