About Kelli
Kelli Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of clinical experience. She practices from Louisiana and helps people who are stressed, anxious, or facing relationship and parenting challenges. Kelli also supports people managing anger, depression, ADHD, or major life changes.
Her approach blends straightforward cognitive-behavioral work with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. Kelli uses trauma-focused methods when past events are causing ongoing symptoms or distress.
Background and approach
She keeps sessions warm and respectful and begins by listening to where a person is right now. Together she and the client set clear goals and map small, achievable steps toward them. Therapy can be brief - about eight weeks - or longer, depending on what the person needs.
Kelli has worked with a wide range of concerns including parenting strains, impulsivity, mood disorders, and communication problems. She also addresses issues related to attachment, pregnancy and childbirth, and recovery from post-traumatic stress. Her background includes practice across Louisiana and Texas as a licensed counselor and a decade of direct clinical work.
Kelli writes about topics like anxiety, organization, and boundaries, and she frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on real change.

How Kelli’s Approaches Work Online
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It often helps with anxiety, anger, low mood, and issues like impulsivity by giving concrete tools and exercises.Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and simple practices for noticing thoughts and sensations without reacting. It can reduce stress and help people respond more calmly to triggers between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kelli will work together with each person to choose methods that match goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls are a lower-bandwidth option, and messaging can work for quick check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
