About Kelly
Kelly Wooldridge is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of professional experience. She offers calm, straightforward support for people facing anger, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and family concerns. Kelly writes treatment plans to fit each person's situation and speaks plainly about next steps.
Her approach blends practical skills with attention to relationships and life history. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take manageable action toward them.
Background and approach
Attachment-based work guides conversations about how early relationships shape current reactions. Kelly also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotional regulation and distress-tolerance skills. The Gottman Method informs her work when communication and relationship patterns are central concerns.
Kelly has helped people cope with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment difficulties, blended family stress, and family-of-origin problems. She also supports individuals facing substance use concerns, control and commitment issues, body image struggles, and the emotional impact of divorce and separation. Sessions are offered in English and provided from Nevada.
Kelly uses active listening, clear feedback, and step-by-step skill practice so people can use what they learn outside of sessions. She aims for practical shifts that fit into busy lives and lead to steadier mood and clearer relationships.

Using evidence-based approaches in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to change mood and reactions; it is often used for anxiety, anger, and depressive symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick or combine methods that match their goals and life situation. Together they will evaluate what works and adjust the plan as needs change.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are good for more in-depth conversations, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can work for short check-ins or practicing skills between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite busy schedules, travel, or other time constraints.
