About Kelly

Kelly Muratorri combines a cognitive behavioral framework with trauma-focused interventions to help people manage emotional overwhelm and rebuild daily functioning.

Background and approach

Kelly is an LPC and LMHC who draws on seven years of clinical experience to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and low self-esteem. She also works with issues like grief, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and coping with major life changes.

Her work integrates practical skills with depth-oriented trauma care, using approaches like CBT, EMDR, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to tailor treatment to each person's needs. Kelly has additional experience with abandonment and attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, chronic illness and disability, first responder and veteran-related concerns, and post-traumatic stress.

Based in Iowa and licensed as TX LPC 83478 and IA LMHC 112160, she offers services in English and accepts international clients. Kelly emphasizes collaboration and respect as clients develop coping strategies and process difficult memories.

She supports clients through focused interventions and compassionate clinical presence while helping them set workable goals and build sustainable skills for everyday life.

Applying CBT and Trauma Work Through Online Sessions

Kelly commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping strategies; CBT is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and related symptoms. She also integrates EMDR and trauma-focused techniques to support processing of distressing memories and to reduce the ongoing emotional impact of traumatic events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning allows treatment to shift as needs evolve and helps clients feel involved in decisions about their care.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access therapy from different locations including outside the United States, and integrate sessions into busy lives while using evidence-informed approaches.
