About Kent
Kent Kelley is a licensed counselor who brings 24 years of experience to his work. He is credentialed as an LPC and an LCPC and practices from Colorado.
Background and approach
Kent approaches each person with calm attention and straightforward support aimed at managing everyday struggles. He notices how ongoing stress and societal pressures wear people down.
Kent focuses on problems like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and the strain that major life changes create. He also helps people facing addiction, grief, and career or parenting challenges.
Kent uses practical, evidence-based approaches in sessions. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, achievable changes.
He also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to build trust and open conversation. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented.
Kent listens without judgment and helps people set clear, realistic steps they can take between meetings. He blends coaching-style feedback with therapeutic techniques when that fits a person’s goals.
People who reach out can expect a calm, steady style and a focus on workable skills. Kent offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
He accepts international clients and works in English.
Approaches that fit online work
Kent often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice hard thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is helpful for depression, anxiety, and problem-solving.Kent treats finding the right approach as a team effort. He will talk with each person about their goals and try different techniques to see what feels most helpful. That collaborative process guides whether sessions lean more toward ACT, CBT, attachment-focused work, or a client-centered conversation style.
Online sessions use a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick problem-solving, or when scheduling makes regular calls difficult. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and travel schedules.
