About Kellye

Kellye Laughery is a licensed marriage and family therapist with twenty years of experience in California. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and the challenges that come with life transitions. Clients can expect a supportive, practical style that aims for clear steps forward.

Sessions are a place to talk through feelings, learn new ways to handle conflict, and practice skills for everyday life.

Background and approach

Kellye uses a mix of approaches to suit each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Her work includes coaching around career and purpose as well as help with parenting and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people coping with grief, isolation, trauma-related concerns, and the strain that comes after divorce or separation.

Attachment and family-of-origin patterns are often part of the focus when they matter to the current problem. Kellye blends emotion-centered methods with client-centered conversation and cognitive tools. That means she pays attention to emotional experience, listens for what matters most to the person, and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns.

This combination helps people feel understood while developing new ways to relate and cope. She works with individual adults to set goals they can use outside sessions. Taking the first step can feel hard, and her approach aims to make it manageable and concrete.

Kellye encourages questions about how therapy will fit into everyday life.

Online support

Emotion-focused care offered online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at the way emotions shape our close connections and personal patterns. It helps people identify core feelings, understand how those feelings affect their reactions, and practice new emotional responses that lead to better relationships and self-understanding.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds influence current relationships and coping. This approach can help people who notice repeating patterns in relationships or who want to feel more supported in how they connect with others.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person in the room, using listening and reflection to help someone feel heard and to find their own solutions. It works well for people seeking a respectful, nonjudgmental space to sort through emotions and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kellye will collaborate with clients to identify which methods match their goals and preferences. Together they decide what to try first and adjust as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, brief coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
