About Kelli

Kelli Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with a decade of clinical experience. She emphasizes practical, evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to help clients manage stress, anxiety, mood difficulties, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

Kelli’s approach blends structured skill-building with compassionate support to address common concerns including depression, parenting struggles, self-esteem, career stress, and ADHD. Kelli has worked extensively with individuals and families facing trauma and abuse, grief, communication problems, impulsivity, and life transitions.

She also brings focused experience in areas like attachment and commitment issues, mood disorders, pregnancy and childbirth adjustments, and family problems. Her style is warm and collaborative, aiming to set clear, achievable goals while adapting methods to each client’s needs and cultural context.

Sessions may emphasize short-term, solution-focused strategies or longer-term work depending on the concern. Kelli holds LPC credentials in Louisiana and Texas and offers a professional, respectful environment that prioritizes practical steps toward change.

Therapeutic tools adapted for online care

Online sessions with Kelli commonly draw on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to address symptoms and build skills. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and practical homework; it is often used for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and many everyday problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-focused awareness and stress-reduction practices that can help with emotional regulation, worry, and coping during life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelli works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life, then tailors a mix of methods that fit those needs. This partnership helps determine whether brief solution-focused strategies or longer-term trauma-focused or CBT-informed work is most appropriate.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which support flexible scheduling and access from different locations. These options allow clients to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they make it easier to practice skills between sessions with therapist guidance.
