About Kelly
Kelly Clyde is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions, including issues relevant to young adults stepping into independence.
Her approach is direct and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable changes. She uses tools drawn from cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.
Kelly spends time building a working plan with each client. That plan may include skill practice between sessions, short exercises to test new behaviors, and attention to how daily routines affect mood and motivation. Conversations aim to be straightforward and useful rather than theoretical.
People often come to her feeling stuck after school, during job changes, or while navigating new relationships. She helps clients sort priorities, improve communication, and address things like sleep, substance use, and self-worth in tangible steps.
Her work includes exploring attachment and past abandonment, managing caregiver stress, and handling difficult family dynamics. She also assists with issues around body image, commitment and intimacy, grief, and forgiveness, always keeping the focus on what can be changed now.
Sessions are conducted in English from her New York practice. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking and to use the platform directions to complete an initial matching questionnaire prior to scheduling a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Kelly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into sessions to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT works well for anxiety, low mood, and sleep issues because it breaks problems into practical steps and experiments.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can help with relationship problems, impulse control, and intense emotions in everyday life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most useful. Clients decide which skills to practice and how quickly to move forward.
The biography does not specify which remote session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions require only a call and less bandwidth, while video lets people use visual cues and practice communication skills in real time. Discuss format preferences during the initial matching questionnaire to find what fits best.
