Kelley Sullivan, LCSW

Kelley Sullivan is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of practice supporting people through difficult life moments. She works from Colorado and speaks English and Spanish. Kelley focuses on clear, practical steps to help people feel steadier and more able to cope. Kelley keeps sessions simple and focused. She listens first, then helps clients name the problems and pick small, manageable changes. Much of her work uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with acceptance and attachment-informed ideas. Sessions mix skill building, emotional exploration, and real-world practice. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, and depression. Kelley also supports those dealing with trauma and grief, relationship and intimacy questions, addiction concerns, and self-esteem struggles. She pays attention to life roles like parenting, caregiving, and work stress, and to challenges such as body image and sexual identity. Kelley tailors therapy to each person’s situation and values. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify what matters most, and on attachment-informed work to untangle relational patterns. Dialectical and client-centered approaches inform how she balances acceptance with change. Practical tools meet everyday life in her sessions. Clients leave with specific skills for sleep, anger, or emotional intensity, and with steps to try between meetings. Kelley also supports people navigating adoption, aging, chronic illness, and neurodiversity challenges. For people who prefer Spanish, she offers therapy in that language as well. Her approach is collaborative: she helps set goals together and adjusts pacing to match each person’s needs.

Using CBT, ACT, and Attachment Work Online

CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to feel better. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and everyday stress by breaking problems into clear steps.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and taking meaningful action even when painful feelings remain. It can help with grief, chronic pain, and situations where people want to live more in line with what matters to them.

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand trust, closeness, and long-standing relational habits that affect dating, intimacy, and friendships.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Kelley will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. The plan can shift over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect: video calls for full sessions, phone for lower bandwidth or off-camera talks, live chat for quick check-ins, and text messaging for brief support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or a busy schedule while keeping treatment focused and practical.
