About Kelly
Kelly Clyde is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with five years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and motivation. Kelly works with people on practical problems and everyday feelings they find hard to handle.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify thoughts and patterns that keep problems going. Sessions are action-oriented and often include steps people can try between meetings. Kelly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches to help clients notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses.
Clients can expect a clear, problem-solving tone that breaks issues into manageable parts. Kelly pays attention to how emotions, behavior, and thinking interact. She also works with people facing grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, career questions, and caregiver stress.
Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, addiction and substance-related issues, communication and commitment difficulties, and separation or divorce. She also addresses fertility stress, first responder issues, guilt and shame, and forgiveness work.
Kelly aims to help people set concrete goals and track small changes over time. She uses practical tools from DBT, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing alongside CBT techniques. People who want clear steps and regular skills practice often find this approach useful.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Kelly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into specific situations, thoughts, feelings, and actions and then targets small changes that can shift how a person responds.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness techniques to teach practical strategies for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills are concrete practices for handling strong emotions, and mindfulness helps people stay grounded and observe reactions without immediately acting on them.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Kelly will collaborate with clients to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That means sessions include skill practice, homework, and regular check-ins about progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day, avoid travel time, and keep continuity when schedules change. Therapists can adapt exercises for a screen or a phone call so skills practice fits everyday life.
