Felice Kelley (Kelley-Ware), LPC

Felice Kelley (Kelley-Ware) is a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of clinical experience and additional years in teaching. She practices from Michigan and focuses on helping people who are facing big life changes. She uses clear, practical steps and listens closely to each person she meets.

Her sessions emphasize a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about career stress, relationships, grief, or anxiety. She also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, and issues tied to adoption or abandonment. She works with concerns such as depression, ADHD, parenting strain, caregiving stress, and substance-related problems.

Felice draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and solution-focused techniques to set reachable goals. These methods are presented in plain language and tailored to each person’s pace.

Sessions are collaborative: she asks about what matters most, sets practical steps, and revisits progress together. She aims to help people build skills they can use between sessions, such as managing stress, setting boundaries, or organizing daily routines.

People who choose her often want straightforward guidance and a calm listener. She welcomes conversations about life purpose, caregiver burnout, end-of-life concerns, hoarding, and forgiveness, among other topics. The work moves at a realistic pace and centers the person’s hopes and needs.

Practical approaches for online care

Felice uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or handle stress. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters to the person, and supporting their own problem-solving and growth.

She treats finding the right approach as a team effort. Early sessions are used to talk about goals, try a method, and adjust based on what feels useful. The therapist will check in about what is working and suggest small changes so the work fits personal needs and pace.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates, ongoing coaching-style support, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and to continue progress between appointments.
