Professional statement

Kelley works with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and the emotional weight of difficult life transitions. Many of her clients arrive feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Whether someone is looking for relief from anxious thoughts, healing after painful experiences, or steadier footing in their relationships, Kelley meets them with genuine empathy and a collaborative, judgment-free approach.

Kelley's therapeutic style is warm, grounded, and strengths-based. She draws on evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients recognize unhelpful patterns, build practical coping skills, and move toward clarity and growth. She is trained in the neuroscience of anxiety, which allows her to help clients understand what is happening in the brain when worry or panic takes hold and to use targeted, brain-based strategies to calm those responses. For many clients, understanding why anxiety happens is the turning point that makes lasting change feel possible.

Kelley brings a depth of professional experience to her work. Her background includes facilitating intensive outpatient groups for individuals in substance use recovery, providing crisis intervention as part of a mobile response team, and conducting psychosocial assessments. This combination of clinical experience has sharpened her ability to support clients through moments of instability and through complex, layered emotional terrain.

Kelley offers in-person sessions at her office in Rocky River, Ohio, as well as telehealth appointments for clients throughout the state, including hybrid scheduling that blends in-person and virtual care for those who need flexibility. She is committed to making therapy accessible and inclusive for people of all backgrounds and identities, and she welcomes anyone seeking a supportive space to explore growth, healing, and connection. Kelley is available for weekday and Saturday appointments and accepts a wide range of insurance plans.


Message to clients

You don't have to have everything figured out to begin. Therapy is a place to show up exactly as you are, and my job is to help you feel more grounded, capable, and connected from there. Whether you're wrestling with anxiety, working through a relationship, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, we'll start wherever you are.

I believe the best therapy is a partnership. I'll bring empathy, honesty, and practical tools to our work together, and we'll explore what's holding you back and how to move forward in a way that feels right for you. If anxiety is part of your story, I have specialized training in how the brain creates worry and panic, and I can teach you simple, effective ways to quiet it so it stops running your life.

Clients tell me I'm easy to talk to and that they feel understood and never judged. I work to create a space where you can be fully yourself, whether that means sitting with big feelings, sharing hard truths, or finding moments of humor and lightness along the way. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel truly heard, where change feels possible, and where you leave each session with something meaningful to take with you.
