About Kelly

Kelly Harper brings more than two decades of clinical social work to clients in Louisiana, holding an LCSW (LA LCSW 5722). She has focused her practice on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, depression, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family concerns.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with a wide range of additional issues such as caregiver and workplace stress, blended family and communication challenges, and women's health and self-esteem struggles. Kelly frames clients as the experts of their own stories and emphasizes building on existing strengths to address life’s difficulties.

She uses practical, goal-oriented strategies drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify patterns, test new skills, and pursue clearer next steps. Whether someone is coping with major life change, compassion fatigue, or questions about identity and self-love, she aims to collaborate on achievable strategies.

Therapy with Kelly centers on support, skill building, and encouragement as clients move toward greater wellbeing. She values the courage it takes to seek change and offers steady guidance while clients set the pace and priorities for their work together.

Practical Approaches for Online Therapeutic Work

Kelly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy into online sessions, explaining each in clear, accessible terms. CBT helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and skill practice, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small, forward-moving steps to create tangible change, often helping clients set realistic goals and notice progress quickly.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss a client’s goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address, then recommend and adapt techniques that seem most helpful. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what works best for the individual, with an emphasis on practical outcomes rather than rigid protocol.

Online therapy with Kelly uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for busy lives and geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into varying schedules, and practice skills between meetings while working toward clearer steps and improved coping.
