About Kelly
Kelly James-Fraser is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with over 10 years of clinical experience. She has spent much of her career supporting people who face depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and relationship and parenting concerns. Kelly also works with clients dealing with anger, addiction, grief, and life transitions.
Early in her career she provided inpatient care for people with chronic, pervasive mental illness and for children in crisis. She has experience on a forensic unit and has provided therapy and parole evaluation work for the Department of Corrections. Her background includes work with veterans and young adults who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
Kelly describes her style as person-centered and solution-focused. That means sessions emphasize listening to each person’s goals and building practical steps to reach them. She combines methods from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness when they fit the client’s needs.
In practice she structures sessions around clear concerns, like managing anger or reducing panic, and then works with clients to try strategies that can be used between meetings. She is used to writing measurable goals and checking progress over time.
People who choose her often want direct, practical work on specific problems. Kelly aims to help clients develop skills for handling stress, improving communication, and coping with difficult memories or intense feelings.
To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so she can learn their priorities and craft a plan together.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person's concerns, and letting the client's goals guide the work. It helps when someone wants straightforward support and collaborative planning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Kelly will work with clients to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. She combines techniques as needed and adjusts the plan based on what helps most over a few sessions.
The practical value of online sessions is fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are listed when you start the matching process. Online work can make it easier to keep appointments around job or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists use these sessions to teach skills, practice new responses to triggers, and assign exercises to use between meetings.
