About Kelsey

Kelsey Hackler is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who draws on 12 years of clinical experience to support people facing a broad range of mental health concerns, including ADHD.

Background and approach

She blends practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions while attending to relationship, intimacy, career, and parenting challenges. Kelsey’s background includes work with complex presentations and a variety of diagnoses, which informs a flexible, skill-focused approach to care.

She aims to create sessions where clients feel heard and validated, and she emphasizes collaboration in building tools that fit each person’s lifestyle, values, and comfort level. Kelsey tailors interventions from modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy, and she integrates motivational and solution-focused techniques when helpful.

Based in Florida, she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different preferences and schedules. Her practice centers on helping people move forward with clearer coping strategies and renewed confidence in navigating life’s challenges.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck in them. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, impulsivity, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental attention to internal experience, which supports emotion regulation and stress reduction.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, adapting techniques from ACT, CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused work as needed to match what helps most.

Online therapy with this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across locations within the therapist's licensure, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for discussing sensitive topics and practicing new skills.
