About Kelli
Kelli Means integrates a client-centered style with practical, evidence-informed methods to support people coping with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD.
Background and approach
Kelli is an LPC and LIMHP who brings nine years of professional experience in mental health and addictions work, and she draws on approaches like mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and somatic work to tailor care to each person’s needs.
She emphasizes a straightforward, conversational stance and aims to help clients build the skills to manage stressors and life changes. Based in Nebraska, Kelli has worked in inpatient, outpatient, school-based, and residential treatment settings and has substantial background helping people affected by trauma, mood disorders, substance use, relationship struggles, grief, and other complex stressors.
Her practice perspective centers on respect for the whole person rather than on labels, and she focuses on building trust so clients can move toward clearer goals and greater self-reliance. Kelli describes her role as a guide who helps clients find practical strategies and develop their own capacity to cope and make changes.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding the person’s perspective and building a collaborative relationship, helping people feel heard and steering work toward what matters most to them. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and coping practices that can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation, which is useful for anxiety, mood disturbances, and attention difficulties. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring ambivalence and supporting intrinsic motivation for change; it is practical for substance use, behavioral shifts, and goal-directed work.Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kelli approaches that choice collaboratively. She works with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most effective, then adjusts techniques over time so the treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in that collaborative work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around life commitments, maintain continuity when circumstances change, and practice skills between meetings while staying connected with a licensed professional who can guide the process.
