Online support
How her approach translates to online therapy
Kelley uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful interaction patterns in close relationships. EFT focuses on emotions and how they shape the way people connect, which can be explored through conversations and in-session exercises.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify upsetting thoughts and try new behaviors that improve mood and functioning.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelley works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She explains options plainly and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use facial cues and live interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants to avoid being on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill rehearsals, or support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping continuity of care.
