About Kelsey
Kelsey Hofer is a licensed counselor who helps people manage anger and related struggles. She works with clients facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports people dealing with career stress, self-esteem issues, bipolar mood challenges, and coping with life changes.
Kelsey uses a collaborative style in sessions. She listens first, then helps people find practical steps that fit their lives. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, naming experiences, and learning ways to cope that feel doable day to day.
Background and approach
She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical and Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Trauma Studies from Chestnut Hill College. She is licensed as an LPCC in Ohio and as an LPC in Pennsylvania. Her ten years of clinical experience include work with survivors of sexual assault, physical assault, stalking, and homicide outside of online practice.
Kelsey draws on several approaches to shape sessions, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, narrative methods, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused strategies. She adapts tools to what each person needs rather than following one fixed plan. In practical terms, Kelsey helps people develop short-term coping skills and longer-term ways to change patterns that feed anger or distress.
She encourages straightforward talk, small experiments between sessions, and checking in about what’s working. The pace and focus come from the client’s goals and preferences.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It helps people feel heard and build trust so they can try changes that suit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anger, anxiety, and depression when people want clear steps to try.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and the events they have lived through. By separating the person from the problem, it can open space for new meanings and different ways to act. Kelsey works with clients to choose which approach or mix of approaches fits their goals and comfort level in a collaborative way.
Online sessions offer flexibility and easier access to regular work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style adjustments, or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep momentum between appointments and to match therapy to daily life needs.
