About Kelley
Kelley Kramer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with five years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and relationship or family strain. Kelley also supports people coping with anger, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and major life changes.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered techniques. Sessions typically involve naming feelings, looking at patterns, and trying small changes to see what helps in day-to-day life.
Kelley often addresses trauma, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, and self-harm by helping people build coping skills and tolerate intense emotions. She also works with issues such as codependency, commitment concerns, guilt and shame, and the effects of disasters or first-responder and veteran-related stress.
Practical support is part of her work. That may include breathing and grounding strategies, behavioral experiments, values-based action plans, and communication practice. She responds to messages multiple times per day and can reply evenings and weekends when requested.
To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Kelley's practice focuses on adult clients in Virginia and sessions are conducted in English.
How Kelley’s approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and track emotional patterns that get repeated in relationships and daily life. EFT focuses on how feelings shape interactions and decisions, which can help when anxiety, grief, or attachment issues feel overwhelming.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take actions guided by personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and uses small experiments to test new ways of responding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelley will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to emphasize based on the client's goals, current concerns, and what feels workable in sessions. That may mean using EFT to explore emotions in depth, ACT to build values-based action, or CBT strategies for day-to-day symptom relief.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people work with a therapist from their own region. Kelley uses messaging and scheduling practices that include frequent message checks during the day and evening responses on request, helping sessions fit into everyday life.
