About Kelly
Kelly Wooldridge is a Nevada LCSW with 30 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Kelly works with individuals across a wide range of backgrounds and presenting problems. Sessions are practical and goal-focused.
Kelly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behavior patterns. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and the Gottman Method when relationship skills are a focus.
Her background includes many years supporting people with past trauma, grief, and mood concerns. She often helps clients who are dealing with family-of-origin difficulties, blended family issues, adoption and foster care matters, and separation or divorce stress. Kelly also addresses concerns such as body image, commitment and control issues, and substance-related problems.
In sessions she focuses on concrete steps clients can practice between meetings. That may include skill-building for emotion regulation, communication practice, and behavioral experiments to test new responses. Therapy often includes exploring attachment patterns and how they shape current relationships.
Kelly asks clients to describe their goals and works collaboratively to set clear, measurable steps. She explains options and helps people choose which methods to try first. Practical progress and problem-solving guide the work over time.
How Kelly integrates CBT, ACT and attachment work online
Kelly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot thinking patterns and try practical behavior changes that reduce distress. CBT sessions focus on testing ideas in daily life and building skills that change reactions. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take actions that fit those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Kelly discusses goals and preferences with each client and recommends methods that fit those aims. She adjusts the plan over time based on what works and what does not. Confirm current session options before booking, since specific online formats are not stated here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let clients practice communication and emotion-regulation skills in ways that connect directly to their daily routines.Areas of expertise
