About Kelly

Kelly Goodman is an LCSW with 17 years of licensed clinical practice who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on deep experience in community mental health and public health settings, and she emphasizes practical supports alongside therapeutic work. Her background includes work in Housing First programs, intensive case management, and clinical roles serving people experiencing houselessness and chronic medical needs.

Kelly blends compassionate advocacy with evidence-informed strategies, aiming to meet immediate needs such as housing and benefits while also addressing trauma, coping skills, and emotional healing.

She has provided crisis and suicide risk assessments in emergency department settings and worked as an on-call family therapist in an adolescent psychiatric unit, which shaped her understanding of how trauma affects people across the lifespan. Kelly’s approach is person-focused and collaborative, offering validation, practical problem solving, and tools for long-term resilience.

She welcomes contact to explore whether her style and experience are a good match for a prospective client.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Kelly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking and develop concrete strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. CBT focuses on changing patterns of thought and behavior to reduce distress and improve functioning.

She also draws on attachment-based therapy, which explores how early and current relationship patterns influence emotions and interpersonal functioning, useful for addressing intimacy concerns, communication problems, and trauma-related impacts. Client-centered principles guide sessions as well, emphasizing empathy, validation, and collaborative goal-setting so clients feel heard and empowered.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Kelly works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts strategies over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Kelly is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and flexibility. These options allow scheduling around work, caregiving, or mobility limitations and make it easier to continue consistent care when life gets complicated.
