About Keely
Before focusing full time on counseling, Keely spent 24 years in education as a teacher, high school counselor, principal, and district administrator. That background shapes how she listens and responds, especially when someone is balancing school, work, or family responsibilities. Her approach is rooted in respect and sensitivity.
Keely uses several practical therapy methods, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, skill-building, and small changes that add up over time. She aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for everyday life.
She has experience supporting people with complex situations, such as co-occurring conditions, chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, and neurodiversity like autism and Asperger syndrome. Keely also addresses intimacy-related problems, body image, and challenges tied to cancer or major life events.
Keely emphasizes a collaborative working relationship where the person’s needs guide the plan. She frames therapy as a step-by-step process toward more balance, better coping skills, and clearer communication. Her style is caring and practical, aimed at helping people move forward in realistic ways.

How these approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people set their own goals. In practice this means sessions pay attention to what matters most to the person and adapt pace and priorities accordingly.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works on noticing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It often includes short exercises or homework between meetings to practice new skills for anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These skills can help with stress, anger, and coping with chronic pain or ongoing health concerns.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try approaches that fit the situation, and adjust the plan over time. That collaboration helps find what feels useful and manageable.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the current session formats before booking since options can change. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that suits them better.
