Kelley Kramer, LPC

Kelley Kramer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship strain. She works with adults coping with life changes, mood challenges, and concerns like ADHD, anger, and compassion fatigue. Kelley aims to make it easier to take the next step toward feeling better.

Kelley uses practical, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. She focuses on concrete skills that can reduce overwhelming thoughts and improve daily functioning. Conversations are direct but warm, and she helps clients practice tools between meetings.

Her background includes five years of clinical experience supporting people through trauma, bereavement, obsessive or panic symptoms, and the effects of major life events. She often combines methods to match a person’s priorities and situation rather than relying on a single technique.

Sessions typically involve identifying patterns that maintain distress, testing new coping strategies, and building routines that support mood and functioning. Kelley also addresses relationship and family-related concerns from the perspective of an individual client working to change their own responses.

She communicates regularly with clients by message and can respond in evenings or weekends when requested. People who choose to work with her start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions that fit their needs.

How CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It uses practical exercises and short homework tasks to change patterns that keep problems going.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without fighting them and commit to actions that match their values. That approach suits clients who want to tolerate discomfort while building a meaningful life.

Client-centered therapy centers on a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead. This style is useful for people who need time to explore feelings and regain confidence at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelley will discuss goals and preferences and collaborate to try methods that fit each person’s needs. The plan can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone calls may require less bandwidth, chat can be a brief check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work or caregiving and to practice skills in everyday life.
