Kelly Mitchell, LPCC

Kelly Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky. She has 13 years of experience helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and life transitions. Kelly focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She uses tools that help with thinking patterns and daily habits.

Kelly combines a strengths-based outlook with cognitive-behavioral techniques. That means sessions look at thoughts, feelings, and actions, and build small changes that add up. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy when they fit the situation.

Her background includes counseling, teaching, and running a business, which she says informs how she supports clients. That mix helps her offer concrete strategies for work, relationships, and day-to-day coping. She aims to teach skills that people can use after sessions end.

In sessions she emphasizes clear goals and practical tools. Conversations often center on changing unhelpful thinking, strengthening coping skills, and planning small steps forward. Kelly encourages a collaborative approach where clients help set the pace.

People who connect with her style can expect direct, plain-spoken guidance and structured work on problems like sleep, parenting strain, substance concerns, grief, and issues with self-worth. Kelly frames therapy as a skill-building process focused on steady, manageable progress.

She offers help for a wide range of concerns including ADHD, compassion fatigue, relationship and intimacy issues, hoarding, and career stress. Sessions are tailored to each person’s goals and everyday realities.

CBT, ACT, and focused online care that fits your life

Kelly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts that feed anxiety, depression, or problematic habits. CBT sessions often include short exercises, behavior experiments, and clear action steps to test new ways of thinking and acting.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while clarifying what matters most. ACT can be useful for coping with long-term stress, grief, or persistent anxiety by teaching present-moment skills and values-based choices. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set practical, short-term goals and find small changes that quickly move a person toward their priorities.

Finding the right mix is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and daily life to choose approaches that fit. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing coaching and short updates. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
