Her style is straightforward and supportive. She helps people notice strengths, find sources of resilience, and make choices that match their values. The counselor-client relationship is central to her work, and she emphasizes respect, empathy, and honesty in sessions.
Kelli has eight years of clinical experience. She holds the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential (LCMHC) and is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with licensure in Vermont and Wyoming. Her background blends formal training, clinical practice, and personal life experience.

How these approaches shape online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions that reflect those values. It can help with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and finding direction during a midlife crisis. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up now, helping people improve trust, communication, and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelli will collaborate with clients to pick or blend methods that match goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. She treats therapy as a team effort and adjusts methods as needs evolve.
Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are set by the therapist. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness practices, breath work, and narrative exercises from their everyday settings, or choose shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, use online sessions to focus on practical skills, self-soothing techniques, and values-based action that translate into daily life.
