About Kelley

Kelley Turner is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 20 years of experience. She uses a warm, client-centered style to help people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and depression. Kelley focuses on creating a nonjudgmental space so people can share difficult thoughts and feelings.

She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, which gives her a broad view of how care can look in different situations. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps people identify practical steps they can try between meetings. Kelley also supports people coping with grief, life changes, parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related or communication problems.

Additional areas she addresses include issues around abandonment, adoption and foster care history, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and codependency. She is mindful that some issues are not safe to treat online and will discuss appropriate options when needed.

Kelley combines elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and a client-centered approach. She helps people clarify values, practice skills for managing strong emotions, and try experiments that can change day-to-day patterns.

Many clients come to Kelley when they feel stuck or overwhelmed. She works collaboratively to set goals and figure out small, realistic steps toward feeling more capable and connected.

How Kelley’s approaches translate to online work

Kelley draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core parts of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small committed steps toward those values, which can help with feelings of being stuck or overwhelmed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxious or depressive patterns.

She also uses a client-centered stance, offering a listening, nonjudgmental presence that helps people feel heard. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Kelley will work with each person to identify goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on how things are working.

Session formats are not listed explicitly in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Kelley will discuss what fits your schedule and needs when you begin the matching process.
