About Kellie

Kellie King is a Texas-licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With six years of clinical experience, she centers the work on what each client identifies as problematic, and collaborates to build a plan tailored to those priorities. Kellie emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while exploring how relationships, social roles, and cultural pressures shape a person’s experience.

Her approach aims to help clients reconnect with their authentic selves, fostering the confidence and courage to express who they are. She blends practical strategies and reflective work to address symptoms and underlying patterns, including issues related to attachment, body image, caregiver stress, grief, and dissociation.

Clients can expect a therapeutic process that weaves evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy with person-centered listening and narrative exploration. Kellie frames progress as a collaborative effort and invites people who are ready to take a first step toward change to reach out and begin scheduling.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Work

Kellie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then practices alternative responses; this approach is useful for addressing anxiety, stress, and patterns that contribute to addictions. She also uses client-centered therapy, offering empathic listening and support that prioritizes the client’s self-defined goals and lived experience, which helps build trust and personal insight. Narrative therapy is employed to examine and reframe personal stories, helping clients see problems in context and consider new possibilities for identity and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and she treats that decision as collaborative. Together the therapist and client evaluate which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine techniques over time to find what works best for the individual.

Online therapy with Kellie includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent care from Texas-licensed professionals and to continue work in between sessions when short check-ins or written reflection are helpful.
