About Kelley

Kelley Kramer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the Commonwealth of Virginia with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and struggles like low self-esteem and anger. Kelley also supports people facing ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue, and she notes a focus on codependency and commitment issues.

Kelley uses straightforward, practical conversations to help clients notice what gets in the way of clearer choices. She listens to each person's concerns and helps them name patterns that repeat in relationships. Then she helps people try small, manageable steps so they can test what works in daily life.

Her sessions draw on several approaches. Kelley uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build psychological flexibility. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that fuel anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas also appear when emotion regulation or relationship patterns are the focus.

Kelley aims to respond to messages several times a day and can respond evenings or weekends on request. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Sessions are offered in English and Kelley does not accept international clients. Prospective clients in Virginia should confirm current session formats and scheduling before booking.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and to make small, values-based actions even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and when patterns like people-pleasing get in the way of personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that maintain distress. It is often used for anxiety, panic, low mood, and obsessive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach concrete tools for managing overwhelming emotions and reducing reactivity in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelley will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to try based on current concerns, goals, and preferences. She explains options and helps people trial skills or exercises to see what fits their life.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt techniques like ACT exercises, CBT worksheets, and DBT skills practice to an online setting so clients can try tools between sessions.
