About Kelli
Kelli Rue-Bachini is a licensed clinical social worker in Alabama who helps people manage anger, addiction struggles, anxiety, and major life changes. She aims to make first steps less overwhelming by offering a calm, nonjudgmental place to talk through difficult feelings. Kelli emphasizes practical tools and steady support so people can feel more in control day to day.
She uses a mix of approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, and client-centered methods.
Background and approach
That means conversations about values and goals, identifying unhelpful thoughts, and working at the person’s own pace. Sessions focus on concrete strategies you can try between meetings to handle stress, cravings, or spikes of anger. With eight years of experience, Kelli brings steady clinical experience to common challenges like depression, panic, grief, relationship struggles, and sleep or eating concerns.
She also works with people carrying trauma, first responder stresses, or veteran-related issues. Her practice includes attention to communication problems, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue. Kelli offers several session formats so therapy can fit into a busy life.
Options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on therapist availability. Her credential is LICSW, which stands for Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker.
Sessions are offered in English and operate through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Kelli’s approaches fit online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable feelings appear. It can help with anger, anxiety, addictions, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce panic, depression, or unhelpful reaction patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and helps people feel heard as they work toward change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelli will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and make adjustments over time so sessions match real needs.
Online therapy makes those methods easier to access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, homework follow-up, or shorter coaching-style exchanges between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to use around work, family, or busy schedules.
