About Kelly

Kelly Muratorri is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Kelly uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside approaches that address emotions and trauma. Sessions are intended to be straightforward and focused on steps people can try between meetings.

Her background includes work with veterans, first responders, and autistic adults. She also supports people facing chronic illness, abandonment and attachment concerns, and the long-term effects of traumatic stress. That experience informs how she plans treatment and sets goals with each person.

Kelly offers a faith-informed perspective when clients request it and respects different belief systems. She practices in Iowa and holds licensure in Texas and Iowa as listed in her credentials.

People who meet with her can expect clear explanations of why certain strategies are suggested and practical tools to practice week to week. Initial conversations focus on defining priorities, assessing immediate concerns, and agreeing on a few measurable steps to try.

How CBT, EFT and EMDR guide online work

Kelly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then try small experiments to change patterns. EFT, or Emotionally-Focused Therapy, helps people identify and name strong emotions and explore how those feelings shape relationships and interaction. EMDR is used as a trauma-focused method to process distressing memories through guided bilateral stimulation and related protocols. Each approach targets different needs - symptom reduction, emotional processing, or trauma integration - in practical ways.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will talk with each person about priorities, past responses to therapy, and what feels doable. Together she and the client decide which methods to emphasize and set short-term goals to track progress in a collaborative way.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into work or family schedules and reduce travel time. They also allow for brief check-ins when a full session is not needed, and simpler phone calls when video would be difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and EMDR-compatible protocols to remote work when appropriate, and the therapist will explain how sessions will be structured during your first meeting.
