About Kelley
Kelley Sullivan is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience helping people sort through intense emotions and life changes. She practices from Colorado and offers care in both English and Spanish. Kelley focuses on real problems like anxiety, depression, grief, and anger while respecting each person’s identity and history.
Her work tends to be straightforward and practical. Kelley listens first, then helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
She teaches skills for managing overwhelming feelings and improving day-to-day functioning. Sessions often include small, doable steps clients can try between meetings. Kelley combines a few proven approaches to match each person’s needs.
She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build steady habits. Attachment-based perspectives help when past relationships shape present reactions.
Clients meet by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging when that fits their life. Kelley also works with people who live outside the United States. She explains options clearly and helps clients pick formats that suit their schedules and comfort level.
Many people come for anger or relationship problems, parenting stress, trauma recovery, or struggles with addiction and mood disorders. Kelley aims to make therapy manageable and useful, focusing on what changes will matter most in everyday life.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them. It focuses on choosing actions that match personal values and works well for anxiety, depression, and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for mood, worry, and anger management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelley collaborates with each person to decide which strategies fit their goals and life. She will try methods, check what helps, and adjust the plan based on what the client prefers and needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deep sessions that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and fit support into busy days. These options make it easier to maintain consistent work on goals across different schedules and locations.
