About Kelli
Kelli Bouscher is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin issues.
Kelli uses an integrated style that draws on multiple evidence-based practices. In sessions she combines elements of attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. This mix is used to help people notice patterns, practice different ways of responding, and build steadier routines that reduce reactive cycles.
When relationships are part of the concern, she incorporates methods from the Gottman approach and behavior-focused couples work to identify negative patterns and increase practical, positive interactions. For people grappling with addiction or trauma, she layers structured behavioral strategies with attention to how past experiences shape present reactions.
Kelli describes her role as a collaborator who helps clients recognize their strengths and make meaningful changes. Sessions typically include clear skill practice, reflection on relationship and attachment patterns, and steps to manage stronger emotions. She aims to support progress through repeated practice rather than quick fixes.
People looking to begin are encouraged to follow the site's intake flow to match and schedule an initial session. Kelli conducts therapy in English and practices in California as an LMFT.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kelli integrates attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral therapy in her sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice how they relate to others. Client-centered methods focus on listening and reflecting so clients can name what matters to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks down thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps and includes practical exercises to test new ways of thinking.Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. She will talk with a client about goals, current struggles, and what feels helpful. Together they select strategies to try and adjust them as needed based on what the client reports and practices between sessions.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how sessions are arranged. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Many people find that remote sessions help maintain regular practice of skills and support steady progress alongside daily life.
