Kelly Muratorri, LPC, LMHC

Kelly Muratorri is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and anger. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials and practices with seven years of experience. Kelly works with adults in Iowa and also supports international clients by offering online sessions. Her style aims to be direct and compassionate while focusing on practical steps people can use day to day.

Kelly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also integrates trauma-focused approaches and EMDR for people processing painful memories. Sessions center on clear goals and skills that can be practiced between meetings.

Her background includes work with military veterans and first responders, and she has experience supporting people on the autism spectrum. Kelly also helps with grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to how life roles and demands affect emotional health.

In sessions Kelly helps clients develop coping strategies, reduce intense emotions, and build steadier routines. She guides people through short-term skill work and deeper trauma processing when needed. The aim is to leave each person better able to handle daily challenges.

Kelly offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Clients use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Kelly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework that are easy to do between sessions and apply to anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also draws on trauma-focused work and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address painful memories and post-traumatic stress. These approaches combine careful pacing with techniques that reduce the intensity of traumatic images and reactions over time.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly will talk with a person about goals, symptoms, and what feels tolerable. Together they decide whether shorter skills-focused work or deeper trauma processing is the best next step.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let therapists observe body language while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quiet moment is brief. Live chat or messaging can work for quick check-ins, ongoing support, or between-session homework. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
