Kelly Conlon , LPC

Kelly Conlon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, eating and body image issues, depression, and life transitions. She works with issues related to trauma, grief, intimacy, parenting strain, ADHD, addictions, and concerns tied to adoption and family of origin. Kelly also supports people wrestling with career decisions, compassion fatigue, and fertility or commitment challenges.

Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions are client-centered and focus on what matters to each person. Kelly aims to create a calm, non-judgmental space where people can talk through hard topics and try new ways of coping.

Kelly draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and attachment-based approaches. She blends practical skills training with attention to values and relationships. That mix helps with symptoms like anxiety or depression and with longer-term patterns such as attachment or codependency.

Her work history includes hospital, residential, outpatient eating disorder, and substance-abuse treatment settings, plus private practice. That range gives experience with both short-term crisis work and longer-term change. Kelly uses that background to match treatment to each person’s needs.

Away from work she enjoys cooking, hiking, travel, reading, and time with family and pets. She brings a sense of humor and straightforward encouragement to sessions while helping people build confidence and healthier routines.

How Kelly blends therapy approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and then taking committed steps toward those values. It can help with anxiety, life transitions, and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier connections and boundaries. That approach is useful for intimacy issues, codependency, and family-of-origin concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and eating-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and personality. She adapts techniques as progress is made so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief support, skill practice, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These formats help people keep therapy consistent around busy work, parenting, or travel schedules.
