Kelley Kramer , LPC

Kelley Kramer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship strain. She also supports people dealing with grief, self-esteem struggles, anger, and life transitions. Kelley listens without judgment and focuses on practical steps a person can use between sessions.

Her style is direct and collaborative. She uses evidence-informed methods and works with each person to find what fits their life. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with room to process feelings and practice new skills.

Kelley draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and take action, and client-centered listening to help people feel heard. She also uses elements from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused work when those tools match a person’s needs.

She has five years of experience as an LPC in the Commonwealth of Virginia. That experience has included supporting people after traumatic events, addressing obsessive or compulsive patterns, and helping those with mood concerns like bipolar disorder manage daily life.

Kelley offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She checks messages several times a day and can respond in evenings or weekends on request. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to availability.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and having a space where a person can speak openly and feel understood.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Kelley will work together with each person to choose or blend methods that fit their goals, needs, and life circumstances. That planning can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and recovery routines.
