About Kelli

Kelli Bouscher is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside relational and client-centered approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, trauma, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

She integrates practical, evidence-informed strategies to support clients in identifying unhelpful patterns, building coping skills, and strengthening interpersonal connections. Kelli draws on nine years of clinical experience to tailor interventions to each person's needs and goals.

Her work also addresses a broad range of related issues including attachment and family-of-origin dynamics, communication and commitment difficulties, codependency and substance-related problems, dissociation, and challenges tied to body image or emptiness. Kelli emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and uses elements of attachment-based work, DBT skills, and Gottman-informed techniques when appropriate to improve emotional regulation and relational functioning.

Based in California, she brings a respectful, strengths-focused stance to therapy and supports clients as they practice new ways of responding that foster greater resilience and clearer self-understanding.

Combining proven approaches with flexible online care

Online work with Kelli often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to address both symptom patterns and relationship dynamics. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support recovery from addictive patterns. Attachment-based work explores relational histories and emotional bonds to help people understand how early connections influence current relationships and self-concept.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Kelli partners with clients to clarify goals, experiment with techniques, and adapt methods over time so care aligns with each person’s needs and preferences rather than relying on a single method from the start.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options allow clients to access consistent care from home or work and to choose formats that best support practicing skills between meetings.
