Kelly Sheets , LPC

Kelly Sheets is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee. She brings eight years of clinical experience to her work and focuses on practical help for common and complex concerns.

She uses a conversational, down-to-earth style in sessions. Kelly draws on existential ideas that encourage people to name their values and make choices that fit their lives. She also uses acceptance and commitment principles, cognitive behavioral tools, and dialectical skills when those methods match a person's needs.

Kelly has extensive experience in addiction care and has worked a lot with co-occurring issues that feed substance use. She has helped people manage trauma and abuse, mood conditions like bipolar disorder and depression, anxiety and stress, and struggles with self-esteem and anger.

Her background includes work in residential alcohol and drug programs and work with combat-related post-traumatic stress. That experience shapes how she helps people handle intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and the emotional fallout of traumatic events.

Kelly also supports people facing relationship and family concerns, eating issues, grief and emptiness, and compassion fatigue. She speaks English and practices as an LPC in Tennessee. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Kelly blends existential therapy with acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to address real problems. Existential therapy focuses on helping a person clarify values and make meaningful choices when life feels uncertain. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) teaches how to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match personal values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then choose techniques together. That collaborative process makes it easier to try strategies and adjust them over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging make it possible to share thoughts between sessions and fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options help people access counseling from different locations and routines while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to each person.
