About Kelly

Kelly Walsh is a licensed independent social worker with more than 30 years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life changes. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress, handle anger, and cope with anxiety and depression. Her style is warm and respectful, and she aims to make therapy straightforward and useful.

She creates an affirming space for people from diverse backgrounds, including LGBT clients. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steady progress rather than jargon.

Background and approach

Kelly helps people rebuild confidence, find healthier ways to communicate, and manage daily struggles like sleep problems or cravings. Her work draws on several well-known methods that translate into real skills. Clients learn concrete tools for shifting unhelpful thoughts, tolerating emotional pain, and strengthening relationships.

She also uses mindful exercises to help calm the body and focus attention. Kelly has supported people through trauma, grief, and major life transitions for decades. That experience informs how she paces therapy and tailors strategies to each person’s needs.

She pays attention to practical barriers and helps people try small changes that add up. People who choose her can expect direct conversation, coaching on new coping skills, and a steady focus on what matters most to the client. Her goal is to help people regain control over reactions, make clearer decisions, and move toward a more balanced life.

Approach options and online therapy that fit your life

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and build more stable connections through clearer communication and new relationship habits.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals and pace. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters, and helps the client discover their own solutions rather than prescribing steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep or eating problems because it breaks problems into manageable steps and practices new responses.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. Kelly will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they pick methods and try them out, adjusting as needed so the work fits the client's life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or an easier choice when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people message between sessions, get brief coaching, or check in on progress. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
