About Kellie
Kellie Poe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Kellie also focuses on concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, and guilt and shame.
Kellie uses a person-centered stance and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Sessions are conversational and direct. She listens for what matters most to the client and helps people name and organize their thoughts and feelings.
Her work often looks at how relationships, past hurts, and current pressures keep problems active. She helps clients notice patterns, try small changes, and test new ways of relating to themselves and others. This includes practical steps for coping with upsetting memories, cravings, or overwhelming moods.
Kellie describes therapy as a collaborative process. She and the client set goals together and check progress along the way. She pays attention to values, life roles, and daily routines when suggesting adjustments.
People who come for support around guilt or shame can expect clear talk about how those feelings show up and what they lead to. Kellie helps clients separate what they can change from what they cannot and work on the behaviors and beliefs that get in the way.
Therapeutic techniques and how they work online
Person-centered care is about treating the client as the expert on their life. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and helps clarify goals. This approach can help when guilt or shame feels overwhelming because it keeps the client's values and choices central.Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on identifiable thoughts and behaviors. That can mean learning to notice automatic thoughts, experimenting with small behavior changes, and practising new responses to triggers. These steps are useful for anxiety, depression, trauma reactions, and addiction-related urges.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they check progress and adjust methods as needed rather than sticking to a single plan.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. Some people find phone sessions require less bandwidth, while video lets the therapist and client see nonverbal cues. The practical benefit is greater flexibility to schedule consistent work on guilt, shame, and related concerns.
