About Kelly

Kelly Burkett is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York with 16 years of professional experience. She draws on a practical, evidence-informed approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, career concerns, relationship challenges, and ADHD-related struggles.

Background and approach

Kelly centers each conversation on the client’s own expertise and strengths while offering techniques that make daily life more manageable. Her style emphasizes collaboration and skill-building, helping clients identify patterns that maintain distress and practicing new ways of thinking and behaving.

Sessions aim to translate insight into tangible steps clients can use between meetings, whether the focus is reducing worry, improving communication, navigating workplace challenges, or managing attention and mood. Kelly encourages a hopeful, forward-focused process and supports clients as they take the often-difficult step toward change.

Applying CBT and Practical Strategies Online



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help clients recognize patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress and emotional distress, and to practice concrete alternative skills. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD-related challenges by teaching strategies for organizing thoughts and daily routines.

Kelly approaches therapy as a collaborative process and recognizes that finding the right method is part of the work. She will discuss different approaches and tailor recommendations based on the client’s goals, preferences, and the specific difficulties they bring to sessions, working together to identify what feels most useful.

Online therapy with Kelly is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life gets hectic, and practice skills between appointments in ways that suit each person’s routine.
