About Kylie
Kylie Docksey is an AASW social worker with five years of professional experience in Australia. She works with adults who are carrying strong feelings of guilt, shame, anxiety, depression and loss. Kylie focuses on practical, clear conversations that help people name what feels overwhelming and take small steps forward.
Her sessions tend to be straightforward and person-focused. She uses therapies that encourage acceptance of difficult feelings while building skills for everyday life. Clients might notice a mix of talking, simple exercises and reflection between sessions.
Kylie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people sit with painful thoughts without being pushed around by them. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the work grounded in each person’s own values and goals.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques are used when emotional regulation or intense anxiety is getting in the way. Motivational Interviewing supports changes people want to make but find hard to start. Together these approaches aim to make coping more manageable day to day.
She has helped people dealing with relationship strain, life transitions, chronic health challenges and caregiver stress. Kylie pays attention to practical problems as well as feelings, so sessions can include communication practice and planning for small behavioural steps.
People who come to her for issues like guilt and shame can expect a steady, problem-solving tone and clear explanations of the methods being used. To begin, clients are usually asked a few questions to match goals and pick a first focus for work.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and decide what matters to them. Online work with ACT can focus on clarifying values and practising small actions that align with those values. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity; these are easy to practise in short online meetings and as exercises between sessions.Client-Centred Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the client’s experience and priorities. In online sessions this means Kylie will check in often about what feels most useful and adapt the pace to the person’s needs. Figuring out which mix of methods fits best is part of the first meetings, and she works collaboratively to choose approaches that suit the client’s goals and preferences.
The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking. The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into a busy day, shorter check-ins when needed, and easier access when travel is difficult. Talk and brief skill practice translate well to remote meetings, letting people try new strategies between sessions and report back on what worked.
