About Kelley
Kelley Kramer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and the everyday fallout from trauma and major life changes. Kelley writes and responds to messages several times a day and will reply evenings or weekends when requested.
Kelley focuses on clear, practical steps you can use between sessions. She listens first, then helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions often include short exercises, simple behavior changes, and ways to name emotions so they become easier to handle. Her work with clients covers a wide range of concerns. That includes grief, relationship struggles, ADHD, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood concerns, and obsessive or panic symptoms.
She also supports people dealing with sexual assault, first responder stress, and challenges tied to military service. Kelley uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also uses acceptance-based and emotion-focused tools to help people tolerate hard feelings and strengthen important relationships. She has five years of experience as a counselor and holds a Virginia LPC credential. Kelley aims to be responsive and practical, helping people build skills that fit their daily life.

How therapy methods translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them. It teaches values-driven choices and simple exercises to move toward what matters despite hard emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses structured techniques to change unhelpful patterns and behavior. Both approaches work well online because they emphasize specific skills and homework people can practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about options, try different techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist set clear goals together and review progress so the work stays focused and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and do interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to use different tools depending on what each session requires.
