Felice Kelley (Kelley-Ware), LPC

Felice Kelley (Kelley-Ware) is a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of clinical experience and a background in teaching. She practices in Michigan and supports people facing major life changes, career setbacks, grief, and trauma. She also helps those dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and self-esteem concerns.

Her approach focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what’s on their mind. She listens first, then helps shape goals that feel realistic. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Kelley uses practical methods like client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral ideas, and solution-focused steps. She aims to translate those methods into everyday actions clients can try between meetings. Coaching-style guidance is offered when people want tools for decision-making or life transitions.

She has particular experience supporting people with adoption and foster care histories, caregiver stress, and issues that come with aging. Other focus areas include family problems, substance concerns, domestic violence, and end-of-life planning among many life challenges.

Felice encourages taking one small step at a time. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps clients test different ways of coping. If someone is looking for straightforward conversation and clear next steps, she can offer that kind of support.

How Felice’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping people feel understood. It is useful for emotional concerns like grief, relationship stress, and self-esteem struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers concrete exercises to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms. Motivational Interviewing helps people move through ambivalence when they want change, such as addressing substance use or making career shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will choose methods that fit the client. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs evolve.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and offering flexibility around work and caregiving schedules. It also lets people try strategies and report back quickly so sessions focus on what worked and what needs tweaking.
