About Kelly

Kelly Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) who draws on ten years of licensed clinical practice to help adults navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She creates a collaborative environment focused on practical skill building and insight, helping clients identify patterns that get in the way of daily functioning and wellbeing. Kelly emphasizes the recognition of personal strengths and the development of coping strategies tailored to each person's goals.

Her work integrates several evidence-informed therapies, with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core tool for examining and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also incorporates client-centered principles and techniques that promote self-awareness and personal growth, and uses mindfulness and skills-based strategies when appropriate.

Based in Tennessee, Kelly maintains a warm, respectful stance and guides clients through goal-focused plans that support lasting change.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online therapy

Kelly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors, which can be especially practical for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. She also draws on client-centered principles to maintain an empathic, nonjudgmental stance that fosters self-exploration and personal growth during sessions. When appropriate, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are introduced to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills that support coping with intense feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors a plan that may blend these methods. This collaborative planning helps clients understand why certain techniques are recommended and how they align with short- and long-term objectives.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit consistent work into busy lives. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care while accommodating different communication styles and scheduling needs.
