About Kelley

Kelley Sullivan is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Kelley speaks English and Spanish and practices from Colorado.

Kelley focuses on creating a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what feels hard. She uses straightforward language and practical steps. Sessions tend to center on understanding patterns, learning coping tools, and trying small changes that add up.

Background and approach

Her background includes work across a wide range of issues. She helps with parenting stress, body image and eating concerns, career strain, bipolar mood challenges, and abandonment or attachment issues. She also supports people navigating chronic illness, caregiver strain, adoption and foster care questions, and identity matters including LGBT concerns.

Kelley draws on several well-known approaches to tailor care to each person. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect present life. She often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts, choose values, and take manageable action.

People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth style often find this approach helpful. Kelley listens first, then offers tools and experiments suited to daily life. Her aim is to help clients build clearer communication, steadier mood regulation, and more confidence in making choices.

To begin, the process involves a short questionnaire and scheduling that fits each person. Sessions are offered in multiple formats to match different needs and routines.

Online support

How approaches translate to online therapy

Kelley uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and reactions. This approach helps when people want to understand closeness, trust, or fear of abandonment and how those patterns show up now.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, identifying values, and taking committed actions that fit those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is often part of the work too, offering concrete ways to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try different, more effective behaviors. These methods can help with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kelley will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit their needs. She frames therapy as a team effort where skills and experiments are chosen together and adjusted over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a simpler option with less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat supports shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between appointments. These formats aim to make it easier to work on goals without rearranging a whole day.
