About Kellye

Kellye Laughery is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 20 years of experience in California. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family concerns. She also supports people facing life changes, grief, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and career transitions.

Kellye favors an attachment-based approach combined with client-centered listening and practical strategies. Sessions usually focus on strengthening emotional connection, improving communication, and building coping skills for tough moments.

Background and approach

She aims to make the work feel down-to-earth and actionable rather than abstract. Her background includes long-term clinical work with adults navigating family of origin issues, blended family adjustments, divorce and separation, and commitment or intimacy concerns. She also has experience addressing trauma-related concerns, post-traumatic stress, and challenges faced by veterans and armed forces members.

In therapy people can expect a mix of talk, reflection, and behavioral tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused methods. Kellye helps clients identify patterns that get in the way and then practice different ways of responding. Coaching-style conversations about goals and next steps are offered when helpful.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then sessions are scheduled according to therapist availability.

Online support

Attachment and Skills-Focused Care Online

Kellye uses attachment-based work to help people notice how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and reactions. That approach is useful for improving intimacy, commitment concerns, and family connection by making emotional needs easier to recognize and respond to.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and collaboration so people feel heard while they set goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used when practical strategies are needed to shift unhelpful thoughts and build new habits around stress, anxiety, or depression.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Kellye will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they pick methods and pace that suit daily life and the specific challenges being addressed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can help with brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, and maintaining momentum between longer sessions.
