About Kellye
Kellye Laughery is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, life changes, grief, parenting concerns, career questions, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Her style centers on practical, solution-focused work. Sessions involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and trying different ways to respond. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with attachment-informed and client-centered methods to make concrete changes between sessions.
Kellye helps clients break large problems into manageable steps. Conversations often include identifying patterns in relationships, improving communication, and building short experiments to test new behaviors. She uses straightforward tools rather than long lectures, and encourages small, consistent practice that fits into daily life.
For people dealing with major transitions or grief, she offers structure for planning next steps and coping strategies that reduce overwhelm. For relationship and intimacy concerns, she focuses on how partners relate and where misunderstandings repeat. For career or leadership coaching, she helps clarify goals and workable routines.
Sessions are aimed at clear goals and measurable progress. Kellye asks practical questions, assigns simple exercises, and reviews what is or isn’t working. The focus is on usable skills clients can apply right away to feel steadier and more capable.
How Kellye’s approaches fit into online work
Kellye uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small experiments that can be done between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also brings attachment-based ideas to relationship and family concerns. That approach looks at patterns in how people connect and respond to each other, which helps pinpoint where communication breaks down and how to repair it. Client-centered methods mean the conversation is guided by the client’s goals and preferences rather than a rigid agenda.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kellye will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods based on what the client wants to focus on. She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision that can shift over time.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time for those juggling work or caregiving. Talk with Kellye about what schedule and session length would work best for everyday life.
