About Kelley

Kelley Turner brings two decades of clinical experience to her practice and uses a client-centered stance to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

She has provided care in both inpatient and outpatient settings since becoming licensed in Ohio in 2005, and she draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and emotionally-focused techniques to tailor work to each person's needs.

Her work emphasizes collaboration and practical skill building, helping clients address coping with life changes, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting and career stress, compassion fatigue, and a variety of related issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress.

Kelley notes that some complex concerns are not appropriate for online work for safety reasons, and she discusses options with clients to determine the best setting for treatment. Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings are explored thoughtfully and goals are built together.

Kelley supports people in taking courageous first steps toward greater confidence, improved communication, and more fulfilling everyday life.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Kelley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skills training, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. ACT helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by combining acceptance strategies with committed action toward meaningful goals, which is useful for coping with life changes and persistent emotional struggles.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelley works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors techniques from these approaches so the work feels relevant and manageable. This joint planning allows for adjustments over time as progress is made or priorities shift.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options let clients practice skills between sessions, maintain continuity when life is busy, and fit therapy into routines with less travel time.
