About Kelly
Kelly Van Vleet is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with eight years of experience. She works with people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or not like themselves. Her main areas include stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.
Kelly uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps clarify small steps that can change day-to-day life. Conversations focus on real problems and usable strategies rather than abstract theory.
Clients can expect a person-centered approach that centers their perspective and goals. Kelly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify achievable next steps. Motivational Interviewing is used when people need to weigh options and build momentum for change.
She also works with concerns linked to aging and geriatric issues, attachment and blended family matters, cancer-related challenges, caregiver stress, and problems such as guilt, shame, infidelity, and isolation. Communication problems, commitment worries, and dependent personality patterns are also within her scope.
Sessions aim to reduce immediate distress while building clearer ways to handle future challenges. Kelly keeps language plain and focuses on what you can try between sessions. If you want to explore life purpose or what comes next after a major change, she will help you think through options and practical steps.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to your experience and honoring your goals. Online sessions using this approach are about reflecting your concerns back and shaping goals you find meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; online CBT sessions often include worksheets and brief exercises to try between meetings.Choosing the right approach is something she does with each person. She will talk through your goals, preferences, and needs to decide together which methods to use. That collaboration helps match tools to the problems you want to address, and adjustments are made as you go.
The biography does not list which remote formats are offered, so please confirm available session types before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday, shorten commute time, or allow a quicker check-in when needed. Some people find phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler way to do a focused check-in, while video allows face-to-face conversation for skill practice. Discuss format options when you schedule to pick what fits your routine and goals.
