Background and approach
She brings 26 years of experience in mental health work. Her background includes roles as a crisis counselor, home health therapist, dialysis clinic social worker, respite foster care parent, and individual and family therapist. In sessions she aims to be an empathetic, non-judgmental listener who helps people clarify small, helpful steps.
She emphasizes solution-focused work - identifying practical changes that fit into daily life. Kellie also draws on real-world experience supporting caregivers and people living with chronic illness or pain. She pays attention to how isolation, workplace stress, and questions about life purpose affect mood and function.
Kellie supports people dealing with social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and challenges to self-love. Her style is warm, direct, and collaborative. Outside of clinical work she enjoys outdoor activities, camping, and live music with her family.
She also spends time as a substitute teacher working with special needs children, which informs her practical, person-centered approach.
Solution-Focused Care Offered Online
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps you can take now. It focuses on identifying what is already working and building on those small strengths. This approach is well suited to stress, anxiety, low mood, life transitions, and situations where people want clear, short-term goals.Sessions are collaborative and tailored. The therapist will help you weigh options and try approaches that fit your life and goals. Finding the right approach is part of the process, and adjustments are made together based on how you respond and what you need.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you have a face-to-face conversation from wherever you are, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick coping reminders, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work breaks, caregiving routines, or other busy schedules.
