About Kent

Kent Kelley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Colorado with 24 years of experience. He works with common life strains such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, addictions, and the practical fallout of major life changes. Kent also helps people with career concerns, parenting stress, relationship difficulties, family matters, trauma and abuse, and attention challenges like ADHD.

He describes how current social pressures and recent global events have added extra weight to everyday life. Sessions focus on straightforward support and practical strategies to reduce overwhelm. Kent combines talking through feelings with skill-building that people can use between meetings.

His approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns of emotion and connection, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and actions, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking. He also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to pay attention to trust and relationship dynamics.

People can expect a direct, down-to-earth style that aims to make emotional material easier to name. Kent frames problems in everyday terms and works with clients on steps they can try right away. He also includes coaching elements when people want clearer goals or career planning.

Kent offers services from Colorado and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on how emotions shape relationship patterns and personal responses. In brief online sessions this can mean identifying recurring emotional moments and practicing different responses in real time. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, useful when life feels chaotic and decisions are hard.

Kent treats finding the right approach as a collaborative task. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques from EFT, ACT, or CBT to fit those needs. The client and therapist check in on what works and adjust the plan together over time.

Session-format details are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by removing travel time and allowing sessions during lunch breaks or between commitments. It can also let someone choose shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings if that suits their schedule or bandwidth. Licensed professionals can use these flexible arrangements to keep therapy practical and consistent with everyday demands.
