Kelly Gadbury , LPC

Kelly Gadbury is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, and major life transitions. Kelly aims to create a respectful, compassionate space so people can talk through what's most pressing for them.

Kelly draws on straightforward, practical methods to help people manage symptoms and make changes. She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's needs rather than following a single script. That means sessions can focus on problem-solving, learning coping skills, or reflecting on relationships and patterns.

Her approach includes techniques from client-centered therapy that prioritize the person's goals and perspective. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are added when they match a person's goals to build calm and momentum.

Kelly has worked in a range of settings over a decade and brings that real-world experience into sessions. She pays attention to life context, such as caregiving demands, chronic health struggles, and loss. People often come for help with relationship struggles rooted in family of origin, communication problems, or commitment and control issues.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online or by phone. Kelly will work with each person to set clear, small goals and practical steps that fit their life. If someone wants support moving through grief, managing mood, or navigating a big life change, Kelly offers steady, goal-focused collaboration.

Approaches and what online sessions look like

Kelly uses client-centered therapy to keep the focus on each person's priorities and perspective. That approach means conversations are guided by the client's goals, and Kelly helps clarify what matters most and how to move forward.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression in concrete ways.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on their needs, goals, and how they respond. This collaborative process helps match practical tools to what someone actually wants to change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more depth is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging are useful for frequent, brief support or when writing helps process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
