About Kelly

Kelly Conlon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, eating and body image concerns, grief, trauma, and a broad range of life transitions.

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience, she draws on a variety of therapeutic approaches to address issues such as depression, bipolar symptoms, substance-related struggles, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and intimacy-related problems.

Her background includes work in mental health hospitals, residential and outpatient eating disorder programs, outpatient substance use treatment, and independent practice settings, giving her experience with diverse presentations and treatment environments. Kelly aims to create a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients can explore goals and build practical coping skills.

She integrates client-centered principles with evidence-informed methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), tailoring interventions to each person’s needs and personality. Clients can expect collaborative care that balances empathy with encouragement to develop greater self-worth, improved communication, and resilience.

Outside of work she enjoys cooking, hiking, travel, reading, and time with family and pets.

Practical approaches and online access for meaningful change

Kelly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support healthier routines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she draws on; it focuses on clarifying values and developing psychological flexibility to respond effectively to difficult feelings and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work around relationship patterns and family dynamics by exploring how early bonds shape current connections and coping styles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then blends techniques from these models to shape an individualized plan. This partnership lets clients try practical tools while keeping long-term values and relationships in view.

Online therapy with Kelly is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and to practice skills between sessions, while allowing clients to choose the mode of communication that fits their daily life.
