About Kelley
Kelley Turner is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor (LPCC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Kelley works with people who are navigating grief, parenting stresses, career strains, anger, and compassion fatigue.
She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings since first becoming licensed in Ohio in 2005. That range of experience means she has helped people through crisis points and everyday challenges. Kelley uses a client-centered style that invites people to speak openly about what matters to them.
Kelley also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In sessions she focuses on emotions, patterns in relationships, and practical skills that help with coping and decision making.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about current problems and steps to try between meetings. Kelley notes that some mental health issues are not suitable for online work because of safety considerations; she discusses those limits with clients when relevant.
Her additional focus areas include topics such as attachment issues, blended family concerns, adoption and foster care, abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, divorce and separation, aging and geriatric issues, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD). Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her years of direct clinical practice.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kelley uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people recognize and name emotions and to understand how those emotions shape relationship patterns. EFT focuses on feelings and attachment-related moments that matter in close relationships and in personal interactions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes clarifying values and practicing small, actionable steps that align with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit for identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different responses to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelley talks with each person about goals and preferences and adapts methods as those needs become clearer. She draws on emotional work, skill-building, and practical exercises to match what a client wants to address.
