About Kelly

Kelly Gorham is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with eight years of clinical experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and self-esteem challenges.

Background and approach

She focuses on practical, goal-oriented work and brings a collaborative mindset to sessions, helping clients explore motivation, build confidence, and address life transitions or workplace strain. Her approach emphasizes clear, skills-based strategies drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with motivational and solution-focused techniques to help clients identify patterns, set achievable goals, and practice new ways of coping.

Kelly aims to create an atmosphere in which thoughts and emotions can be discussed openly and without judgment, and she encourages small, concrete steps that move clients toward the changes they want.

Clients who connect with Kelly can expect a blend of empathy and structure, with attention to issues such as trauma-related stress, loneliness, communication or commitment struggles, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose. She also addresses concerns specific to veterans and first responders as well as women’s wellness and workplace difficulties, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety and depression. It focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers tools for testing and changing those patterns in everyday life.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, conversational method that supports a person’s own motivation to change. It can be useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about goals such as improving wellbeing, addressing substance use, or increasing healthy habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches to create a personalized plan.

Online therapy with Kelly is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility in how and when someone connects. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from home or another convenient location.
