More about Kelly

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am licensed clinical social worker in Tennessee with 4 years of professional work experience. I background is from Vanderbilt University Medical Center as well as fellowship training in Boston, MA. I have experience in many mental health areas from working in an inpatient setting. I especially enjoy helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, eating disorders, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I fully believe that anxiety can be extremely impairing and try to break the thought with clients that it’s “just anxiety”. 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 seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
