About Kelley
Kelley Kramer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with five years of experience. She helps adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma and anger. Kelley names a range of concerns she works with, including ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and coping with life changes.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts. She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help clients notice values and move toward them.
Kelley emphasizes listening and client-centered conversation. That means she follows what matters most to the person in the room and adapts the pace accordingly. She also integrates dialectical behavior ideas for emotion regulation and some emotionally-focused work to address relationship patterns.
In practice she checks messages several times a day and aims to reply promptly. Evening and weekend responses are possible on request. The initial steps involve a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the platform controls.
Beyond direct client work, Kelley’s background includes training in the listed approaches and five years of clinical experience in Virginia. When someone chooses to work with her, she and the client decide together which methods to try and how to apply them to the client’s daily life.
How sessions work
How Kelley’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. In practice this looks like noticing difficult thoughts and practicing actions that align with personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress. CBT exercises often become short experiments clients try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful when anger or intense feelings arise.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kelley will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That may mean starting with skills-oriented CBT, adding acceptance strategies from ACT, or using DBT techniques for managing strong emotions. The plan is adjusted as the client notices what helps.
Confirm current session options before booking. The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy day, arranging shorter check-ins when needed, and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to practice at-home exercises and to apply new skills directly to daily situations. Kelley will discuss how sessions can be scheduled and how to use the time to focus on concrete changes.
