About Kelley
Kelley Kramer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and ADHD. She speaks directly and calmly, offering practical ways to manage overwhelming feelings and take small steps forward. Kelley focuses on what is happening now and what can change.
Sessions aim to untangle symptoms from everyday life so people can make clearer decisions. She pays attention to trauma, compassion fatigue, and the ways past hurt can show up today.
Background and approach
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Kelley listens first, then suggests tools people can try between sessions. She works with a mix of short-term skills and longer conversations about patterns that keep causing pain.
Kelley uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered methods to shape the work. Many sessions include practical exercises, skill building, and reflections on values and goals. She communicates regularly and checks messages multiple times per day, responding evenings and weekends when requested.
Kelley offers several online formats to fit different schedules and needs. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people to scheduling options.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck by them; this helps when anxiety, depression, or ADHD-related challenges make motivation and focus hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for panic, phobias, mood swings, and obsessive thinking. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening with empathy and shaping the pace to each person's needs so people feel heard and can explore what matters to them.Kelley will work collaboratively to identify which approach, or combination of approaches, fits best for a person's goals and preferences. She reviews options together, adjusts methods over time, and invites feedback so the plan matches what the client needs in day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and texting make quick check-ins and brief skill practice possible. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people use the format that fits their routine and energy level best.
