How Kelley’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead and offers support and reflective listening to help people clarify what matters to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. These methods are commonly used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.

Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from problems and rewrite the stories that hold them back. Solution-focused techniques prioritize clear, small goals and steps that lead to visible change. Kelley combines these approaches to create short-term plans and longer-term skill building based on each person’s situation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelley will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts the plan over time based on what helps most in real life.

Discuss practical preferences during the initial match so sessions can be arranged to fit daily life.
