About Kelly
Kelly Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee with 10 years as an LPC-MHSP. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.
Kelly focuses on helping people build practical coping skills and gain clearer perspective. She uses approaches that include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to guide sessions. Conversations are aimed at identifying helpful habits and reducing patterns that make guilt or shame feel louder.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions often involve talking through current problems, practicing skills between meetings, and revisiting what is and isn’t working. She pays attention to how past hurts and relationship patterns keep showing up in daily life.
Kelly also works with concerns tied to identity and roles, such as caregiver stress, body image, blended family concerns, and issues veterans and first responders face. She helps people who feel stuck by focusing on small, doable changes that can ease persistent self-blame or isolation.
People who choose her for counseling usually want clear tools and a steady process. She asks practical questions, sets achievable goals, and checks in on progress over time. If you prefer direct, skills-focused work aimed at reducing the burden of guilt and shame, her approach may fit your needs.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Kelly often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and guilt-related thinking. DBT teaches practical skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, useful when shame or strong emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods that fit the client’s situation. She checks in and adjusts the plan as work progresses so the approach stays relevant.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a session that does not require video. Licensed professionals use these practical options to help integrate therapy into everyday routines without adding extra steps.
