About Kelly
Kelly Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who brings 13 years of experience to her work in Kentucky. She focuses on clear, practical steps that help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, parenting challenges, and other life strains. Kelly uses straightforward language and offers tools people can try between sessions.
She favors a strengths-based outlook that helps clients notice what already works for them. Kelly combines that with cognitive-behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and shift behavior.
Background and approach
She also draws on acceptance-based methods to help people live by their values even when difficult feelings are present. Sessions are focused and goal-minded. Kelly helps people set small, achievable steps and checks progress each week.
She also teaches skills for coping with grief, trauma, sleep and eating problems, anger, and relationship struggles. Coaching-style support is available for career questions and life transitions. Her background includes counseling, teaching, and running a business, which she says shaped a practical, solutions-oriented style.
Kelly aims to give clear explanations and simple exercises so people leave with a plan they can use. She encourages people to try out strategies and adjust them to their life. Many clients seek help for parenting stress, caregiver strain, or co-occurring concerns like substance misuse and mood symptoms.
Kelly works in English and offers a mix of session types to fit different schedules and needs.

How ACT, CBT, and Solution-Focused Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most to them. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where values and action need alignment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression, anxiety, and sleep troubles. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on strengths and small changes that move a person toward their goals, which can be helpful for parenting stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kelly will work collaboratively to match techniques to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing ACT, CBT, and solution-focused ideas and adjusting over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different rhythms and schedules. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and skills practice, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coaching, and maintaining momentum between sessions. These formats give flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, and other demands.
