About Kelley
Kelley Kramer, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. She welcomes straightforward conversations about grief, relationship struggles, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her tone is practical and calm, and she aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
Kelley is a licensed professional counselor in Virginia with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with mood disorders, panic and phobias, obsessive patterns, and the fallout from sexual assault or other abuse. She also supports people navigating divorce, commitment concerns, and the effects of caregiving or first responder work.
In sessions she uses a blend of approaches to match the person's needs. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques for managing unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and elements of emotion-focused work to improve close relationships. Dialectical behavior skills and mindfulness practice are also drawn on when they fit the goals.
Kelley aims to be responsive to messages and will often reply multiple times per day. She notes she may respond in evenings and on weekends when requested. The first conversations focus on what feels most pressing and on practical steps to try between sessions.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a time that fits their calendar. Kelley works with each person to set clear goals and to adjust the approach as progress is made.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Kelley draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and emotion-focused ideas to help people make changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic or depression. Acceptance and commitment work helps someone clarify what matters to them and take steps that match those values. Emotion-focused techniques concentrate on recognizing and naming feelings to improve how people relate to themselves and others.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelley will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and what feels most useful, then tailor the mix of methods. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and doable.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Generally, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where challenges happen, with the therapist's guidance on pacing and homework between meetings.
