About Anna

Anna Lehew Kelley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of practice experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, addiction, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental stance and works with clients to uncover underlying patterns so they can identify practical steps forward. Anna frames the decision to begin therapy as a courageous one and partners with each person to set goals that feel meaningful and attainable.

Her clinical work draws on evidence-based interventions and a blend of approaches tailored to each situation. She helps clients examine and reshape unhelpful thought patterns, build skills to regulate intense emotions, and process traumatic memories when needed.

Anna brings training in EMDR and several trauma-informed models to support recovery from post-traumatic stress and related symptoms. Based in West Virginia, she offers therapy that aims to improve communication, reduce distress, and increase day-to-day functioning.

Integrating therapeutic approaches into online care

Anna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping strategies for symptoms like anxiety and depression. CBT sessions focus on changing thinking patterns and practicing behavioral experiments that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

She also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for clients coping with traumatic memories; EMDR helps process difficult memories and reduce their emotional intensity through guided protocols. Additionally, elements of Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches inform her work by emphasizing the therapeutic relationship and creating a collaborative space for exploring relational patterns.

Finding the right approach is a shared process - Anna discusses options with each client and adapts methods based on the person's goals, preferences, and responses to treatment. This collaborative planning helps tailor interventions and sequence techniques in ways that make sense for individual needs.

Online therapy with Anna is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and geographic constraints. These formats allow ongoing access to licensed professionals and make it possible to maintain continuity of care while fitting sessions into a client's life.
