About Kelly
Kelly Muratorri is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. She practices with clients in Iowa and holds licensure in Texas as well. Kelly helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and life changes.
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to look at emotions and how they shape relationships and patterns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR and trauma-focused methods when those approaches fit a person’s needs. Kelly aims to help people name difficult feelings and try new ways of responding to them.
Her background includes work with veterans and first responders, and with autistic adults. She has experience supporting people living with chronic pain, illness, or disability. That experience informs how she adapts conversations and pacing to each person.
Kelly can include faith-informed perspectives when clients want that. She invites clients to say whether faith is a part of their life and weaves that into the work if it matters to them. She avoids one-size-fits-all methods and looks for practical steps people can try between sessions.
Initial meetings focus on clarifying what a person wants to change and what feels most urgent. Later sessions mix emotion-focused conversations, skill practice from CBT, and trauma processing when appropriate. Kelly expects treatment to be collaborative and focused on concrete next steps.
How Emotion-Focused and Trauma Work Translate Online
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and shifting painful emotion and interaction patterns. It helps people name what they feel in relationship moments and try different ways of responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports processing distressing memories and strong reactions related to trauma.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Kelly will discuss options and recommend methods based on your goals, current needs, and comfort with each style. Sessions can blend EFT conversations with CBT skill practice or EMDR-based trauma processing when appropriate.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm what’s offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, or travel. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while audio or shorter check-ins may be useful when bandwidth or time is limited. Many people find online sessions let them keep therapy consistent without rearranging major parts of their day. Licensed professionals can adapt pacing and techniques to how you prefer to work.
