About Kelley
Kelley Sullivan is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience. She practices in Colorado and brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions. Kelley focuses on real problems like anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting concerns.
Her work starts with listening. She creates space for people to talk about what feels hard and what they hope will change. Sessions focus on practical skills and small steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Kelley uses a mix of proven approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and from acceptance-based methods to build values-driven action. Attachment-based and client-centered perspectives shape how she attends to relationships and emotional safety.
People who come for help often want clearer boundaries, calmer reactions, and better sleep or focus. Kelley helps with coping strategies for stress, managing anger, and improving self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, and complicated grief.
She works with English and Spanish speakers and is available to clients outside the U.S. through online formats. Kelley explains therapy steps plainly and helps people choose tools that fit their schedule and comfort.

How these approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used when someone wants more meaningful routines and less avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and building coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelley will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life. Together they decide which methods to try and keep adjusting the plan based on what helps most. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people see facial cues and use exercises in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework prompts, and tracking progress between sessions. These formats allow flexibility while using the therapist’s ACT and CBT tools in practical ways.
