About Kelly

Kelly Boyle is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, or the effects of trauma and abuse. Kelly also supports people navigating LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS issues, hoarding, immigration challenges, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She listens first and shapes conversations to match each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Sessions are aimed at building coping skills and clearer ways to relate to yourself and others. Kelly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She pairs that with Client-Centered work to keep the session focused on what matters to the client.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. People meet Kelly for help managing anxiety, processing past hurts, finding motivation, or strengthening self-worth. She works with concerns related to LGBT identity and the stresses that can come with that.

Kelly frames therapy as a collaborative process where goals are practical and measurable. Her approach emphasizes small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. She encourages honest talk, skill practice between sessions, and adjustments as needs evolve.

Kelly aims to make each session useful and connected to everyday life.

Online support

How her approaches adapt to online therapy

Kelly blends Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to online work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and reactions; online sessions can focus on recognizing those patterns and practicing new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the work grounded in the person’s priorities, with the therapist following the client’s lead to set goals and topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses focused exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right mix is part of the process. Kelly approaches this collaboratively, listening to a person’s goals and adjusting methods over time. Together they decide whether to emphasize relationship patterns, immediate skills for anxiety, or a mix of both, and they track progress as therapy continues.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or manage quick concerns without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the same therapeutic aims.
