About Kelly
Kelly James-Fraser is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 10 years of clinical experience. She has worked as a psychotherapist with a range of people, including young adults, children, and veterans, and has supported many who face trauma and PTSD.
Kelly has helped people with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting stress, career difficulties, and chronic mental health conditions. She has particular experience with physical trauma and emotional abuse. Her background includes inpatient settings, forensic units, correctional facilities, and group private practice work.
In inpatient roles she supported people with pervasive chronic mental illness and children in crisis. She also worked on a forensic unit with people found not guilty by reason of insanity, and provided therapy and parole evaluations for the Department of Corrections. Later work in group practice involved adolescents, young adults, couples, and veterans.
Her therapy style is person-centered and solution-focused. She draws on several methods and adjusts conversations and plans to fit what a person needs in session. That means sessions tend to focus on practical steps, skills, and clearer ways to handle current problems.
Young adults navigating school, first jobs, changing relationships, identity questions, grief, or burnout may find her background relevant. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to set goals and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client so they can identify their own direction. It helps with uncertainty, identity questions, and relationship concerns by clarifying values and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It helps break patterns of anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful coping by teaching practical skills and small experiments to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for people who struggle with intense reactions, relationship conflict, or chronic stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That conversation guides session structure and which skills to practice.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling easier around classes, shift work, or other commitments. It can also allow quicker check-ins when time is limited, or simpler sessions that do not require video if that suits the client. The focus remains on practical tools and steady progress rather than on a single modality.
