About Kelly
Kelly Harper is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with 22 years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, and depression. She also works with people facing trauma, grief, ADHD challenges, and issues around self-esteem and life changes.
Kelly sees adults who need practical help managing daily strain. She uses clear, goal-focused conversations rather than jargon. Sessions concentrate on what is happening now and concrete steps a person can take between meetings.
Her background includes long-term clinical social work in community and clinical settings across Louisiana. That history informs a straightforward style that values strengths and small changes. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions and homework.
In practice she asks people to name one or two small goals up front. Then she helps break those goals into manageable actions. She also works with caregiver stress, blended family questions, fatherhood issues, and relationship tensions as individual concerns.
People who come for support find that sessions are practical and paced to real life. Kelly encourages clear communication skills, problem solving, and ways to reduce overwhelming thoughts. She helps with forgiveness, guilt, and rebuilding self-respect after loss or difficult changes.
How sessions work
How Kelly’s CBT and Solution-Focused Work Translates Online
Kelly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her sessions. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, and it gives straightforward tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and stress management.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clear, short-term goals and on identifying small changes that produce visible improvement. It is action-oriented and works well when someone wants practical steps to manage parenting pressures, caregiver stress, or relationship communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their situation and goals. She adjusts plans as needs or circumstances change, and she focuses on simple, measurable steps clients can use between sessions.
