My counselor listens to me and I am so appreciative that whenever our appointment she so vividly is totally cognizant of our last appointments topics, readings, and potential work (which I absolutely LOVE!?). My counselor gives me confidence in my future even tho I have none myself.

  • LPC

Hello, my name is Kelly Gulat (last name pronounced 'goo-lot'). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 10 years of experience providing therapy and over 20 years working in the mental health field. I enjoy helping clients find their most fulfilling path in life. We are whole people and as such, I focus on the many aspects of life that contribute to each person's wellbeing. Some topics that therapy is especially helpful in addressing are stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, personal identity, gender identity, culture, spirituality, acceptance, self-esteem, health and wellness, communication, family matters, boundaries, motivation, confidence, goals, and of course change. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I look forward to getting to know you and partnering with you on your journey of self-discovery.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I can't speak highly enough about Kelly's expertise and dedication. From the first session, I felt a sense of comfort and trust. Her deep understanding of human psychology and her ability to listen without judgment were truly remarkable. Throughout our sessions, she consistently demonstrated remarkable skill in guiding me through my thoughts and emotions, helping me gain valuable insights and coping strategies. Her empathetic approach made me feel heard and validated, creating a safe space for me to open up and address my concerns. I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate therapist!

Kelly was the second therapist I chose, but number one in my book. Kelly has a calm, smiling, supportive demeanor that made me feel at ease. The suggestions Kelly offered were helpful and the various articles she shared and responses to my journal entry thoughtful and relevant. Sessions with Kelly came to feel like I was talking to a trusted friend. I highly recommend her.
