About Kelley
Kelley Kramer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the Commonwealth of Virginia with five years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, and relationship or family concerns. She also supports clients facing ADHD, anger, bipolar disorder, and coping with major life changes.
Kelley focuses on practical, talk-based work. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. She pays attention to what feels most urgent and what skills a person can use between meetings.
Her approach draws on evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That mix lets her combine emotion work, behavioral tools, and values-based strategies depending on each person’s needs.
She generally checks messages several times a day and tries to respond promptly. She will respond in evenings and on weekends when requested. Scheduling and communication preferences are discussed during the first contact.
Kelley works with adults in Virginia. People who want to begin are asked to use the online matching process to complete a short questionnaire and set up a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches you can use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to you and taking small actions toward those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. It can help when anxiety, avoidance, or feeling stuck are getting in the way of everyday choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful thought patterns and building new habits, which is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive thinking.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. Those tools can be helpful for anger, mood instability, and overwhelming stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelley will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, symptoms, and daily life. That may mean using one approach at first and adding others later as needs change.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when time is tight. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises and homework to fit life between sessions so skills are easier to practice.
