Kelly Conlon, LPC

Kelly Conlon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, eating and body image concerns, and life transitions. Kelly offers a calm, respectful presence to help clients feel able to face hard moments and try new ways of coping.

Kelly earned an undergraduate degree in Childhood and Family Development from the University of Georgia and a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. She has eight years of experience in mental health settings, including hospitals, residential and outpatient eating disorder centers, substance abuse programs, and private practice.

Her sessions are warm and nonjudgmental. She uses a client-centered style that adapts to each person’s needs and personality. Kelly also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based perspectives, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy as relevant to the person in front of her.

Clients can expect practical tools to manage upsetting thoughts and everyday habits, and guidance for making concrete changes. Kelly balances direct feedback with empathic listening and occasional light humor. Outside of work she likes cooking, hiking, traveling, reading, and spending time with family and pets.

Kelly aims to help people build clearer habits, steadier mood, and healthier relationships so daily life feels more manageable and meaningful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Kelly frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then acting in ways that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and habit change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and daily routines; it can help with mood, worry, and eating-related habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kelly collaborates with each person to choose which methods make sense for their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques as progress and new needs emerge so the work stays practical and relevant.

Confirm current session formats before booking since session delivery is not specified here. Many people find online therapy fits into busy schedules by reducing travel and making it easier to attend check-ins between work or family demands. Online sessions can support steady work on thoughts and everyday habits, brief skill-building, and follow-up between in-person visits depending on the options offered.
