About Keely
Her background includes 24 years in education as a teacher, high school counselor, principal, and district administrator.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, listening-based relationship where the client's experience guides the work. It helps people feel heard and decide what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many day-to-day challenges. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm, which can support stress, anger, and persistent worry.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, current challenges, and what feels most useful, then collaborate to try methods that fit. That might mean setting short-term targets, practicing skills between sessions, and adjusting tactics as progress is tracked.
Confirm the current online session options before booking. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekly schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions also make it simpler to try mindfulness exercises together or to review worksheets and thought records in real time. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions so they fit into everyday life and your goals.
