About Kelley

Kelley Kramer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the Commonwealth of Virginia with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, family concerns, anger, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Kelley also helps with compassion fatigue, ADHD, and related issues such as codependency and commitment worries.

She works with adults who bring practical problems and emotional pain. Sessions are conversational and direct. Kelley listens, asks focused questions, and helps people notice patterns that keep problems repeating. She uses talk and skill practice rather than long lectures.

Kelley blends several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports choosing actions that match values even when feelings are strong. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers short-term tools for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions.

Her style is down-to-earth. She checks messages multiple times per day and responds as promptly as possible. She can be responsive in evenings and weekends when that is requested.

Kelley’s background includes work with people facing trauma, first responder concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, and challenges after disasters. She also supports people dealing with obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, phobias, self-harm urges, and the aftereffects of sexual assault and abuse. For next steps, follow the platform prompts to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Kelley uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters most. It can help when worry, grief, or stress make it hard to move forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive patterns by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers brief, concrete skills for handling intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. Those tools can be useful for managing anger, mood swings, and overwhelming stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelley will talk with each person about what feels most useful and try methods that fit their goals and daily life. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change.

The therapist biography does not list specific session formats. Before booking, confirm which session types are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose quieter times for appointments. Licensed professionals commonly adapt session pacing and homework to match what fits a person's routine.
