Kelly Brock, LCSW, LISW

Kelly Brock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania and a Licensed Independent Social Worker in Iowa with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Kelly also supports people facing codependency, attachment issues, substance use concerns, and relationship-related struggles where patterns of people-pleasing or loss of self are present.

Kelly begins by asking what feels most pressing and what the person hopes to change. Early sessions focus on understanding current patterns and naming realistic, short-term goals. She and the client build a flexible plan that fits into everyday life rather than a rigid checklist.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and narrative work. That means sessions often look like talking through difficult memories, testing new ways to respond to stress, and practicing small shifts in thinking or behavior. Kelly uses straightforward questions and reflections so people can see what keeps old patterns going.

She has experience in community crisis work, supporting people who have faced homelessness, incarceration, complex trauma, and long-term mental health challenges. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh and a Bachelor of Education majoring in Family and Human Services from the University of Oregon.

Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, with attention to how attachment and past wounds influence current choices. Kelly invites clients to notice small changes and build skills for clearer boundaries, steadier mood, and more self-respect.
