About Kelley

Kelley Turner is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Kelley also addresses grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings since earning licensure in Ohio in 2005. Her stated approach is client-centered, meaning she pays attention to each person's concerns and priorities during sessions. Kelley combines that perspective with practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different ways of responding.

In sessions she helps people identify stress patterns and set small, manageable goals. She uses conversational techniques and structured exercises drawn from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. The focus is on clear steps people can take between appointments.

Kelley notes that some clinical issues are not appropriate for online work because of safety concerns, and she will discuss that directly when it applies. She encourages honest talk about symptoms, supports planning for coping, and helps people practice new skills in everyday situations.

Her style emphasizes straightforward discussion and measurable progress. People who want concrete strategies for anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns, or major life changes will find her approach practical and action-oriented. Sessions take place in English and follow Ohio LPCC practice.

How Kelley uses CBT, ACT and client-centered work online

Kelley combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered methods in simple, practical ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and learning to act toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and letting the person set the pace and topics for sessions.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Kelley will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels workable, then try approaches she thinks will help. She adjusts methods based on how someone responds, and checks in about whether particular exercises or tools fit daily life.

If you plan to pursue online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Practical benefits often include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, shorter check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life situations into discussion, while the therapist and client decide together what format and pace suit the goals.
