About Rosemary

Rosemary Kells is a licensed professional counselor (LPC - 3954) based in Idaho who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma and intimacy-related concerns.

Background and approach

She brings 17 years of clinical experience to work that emphasizes understanding how past patterns shape current reactions, and she guides clients toward clearer communication, healthier coping, and stronger self-esteem. Her approach blends practical problem-solving with attention to emotional patterns that come from family of origin and life transitions.

Trained in systems counseling and enriched by postgraduate study and clinical internships, she uses a collaborative, person-centered stance to set goals and build skills. Rosemary integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-oriented ideas and client-centered techniques, and she also draws on approaches such as DBT and EFT when helpful.

Clients can expect work that focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new behavioral strategies, and exploring relational patterns to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

She accepts international clients and offers a range of online session formats, supporting those navigating career changes, midlife shifts, panic attacks, bereavement, and a broad set of life challenges including caregiving, divorce, and financial stress.

Approaches for Change in Online Therapy



Rosemary commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors; this approach is practical for addressing anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and everyday stress. She also draws on Attachment-Based approaches to explore how early relationship patterns influence current emotional responses and interpersonal difficulties, which can be especially useful for intimacy issues and recurring relationship conflicts. In practice she combines these methods with a client-centered stance that keeps the person's values and goals central.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best. Together they identify priorities, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps the client feel more resilient and connected to their goals.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or for those who live far from Idaho. These options support consistent work on skills, communication, and emotional processing while allowing therapists and clients to coordinate around availability and personal needs.
