About Kelly

Kelly Gorham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with eight years of clinical work. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, and coaching. Kelly also addresses guilt and shame among other concerns people bring to therapy.

She uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies. Sessions tend to look at patterns of thinking and behavior. Kelly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and test small changes.

Kelly pays attention to how past events and current responsibilities interact. She will talk through how feelings of guilt or shame show up day to day. The work often includes noticing unhelpful thought habits, setting short-term goals, and trying new ways of responding to difficult emotions.

Her approach is action-oriented and collaborative. Clients can expect a mix of reflection and concrete exercises. Progress is reviewed together and plans are adjusted when something is not working.

Kelly is based in Georgia and offers sessions in English. When starting, she asks a few questions to learn about a person's situation and what they hope to change. The practice uses a subscription model for scheduling, which can be canceled at any time.

How Kelly uses therapy approaches in online sessions

Kelly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. CBT looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test different ways of thinking. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and persistent guilt or shame. Motivational Interviewing focuses on what matters to someone now and helps resolve mixed feelings about change.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, practical goals. That approach reviews what is already working and builds brief steps toward clearer day-to-day changes. Together these methods aim to make sessions practical and focused on next steps rather than long plans.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kelly will explore the client’s goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. Decisions about methods are collaborative and adjusted based on what helps most.

Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions help them keep continuity when schedules shift, and the therapist will help find a rhythm that fits daily life.
