About Kelley

Kelley Sullivan is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience. She practices in Colorado and supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, and sleep concerns. Kelley works in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

She focuses on helping people who are dealing with life transitions, complicated relationships, addiction, and questions about identity. Sessions aim to make everyday problems feel more manageable through clear steps and steady support. Kelley listens first, then helps set small goals that fit a person's life.

Her style is practical and collaborative. Kelley uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work to help people change unhelpful habits and notice what matters to them. She also draws on attachment-informed methods to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

Many clients come for help with sleep, parenting stress, body image, or work-related strain, and Kelley blends strategies to address those concerns alongside emotional healing. She pays attention to cultural background and personal values when planning care.

Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and costs vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and testing small changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. This approach is commonly used for sleep issues, mood concerns, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can be helpful for intimacy and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelley will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts strategies as people try them, listening to what helps and what does not, so treatment evolves with progress.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can let people meet with a licensed professional from different locations and switch between short check-ins and longer sessions as needed. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking to make sure they match timing and technical needs.
