About Kelsey

Kelsey Phillips is a licensed therapist based in Michigan with six years of professional experience working with adults facing a range of emotional and behavioral challenges. She holds an LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker, and applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support people managing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and depression.

Her approach centers on recognizing the client's own expertise about their life and building on existing strengths to navigate difficult moments. Kelsey emphasizes collaborative work - helping clients clarify what matters most, explore patterns that contribute to distress, and develop practical strategies to meet their goals. She also addresses related concerns such as attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication and control difficulties, substance use, guilt and shame, impulsivity, mood and personality disorders, panic, post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective symptoms, and self-harm thoughts.

Kelsey aims to create a supportive space where people can take courageous steps toward greater wellbeing. She partners with clients to identify priorities and supports growth through tailored, evidence-based care that fits each person’s needs and circumstances.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Sessions

Kelsey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in ways that fit modern life. She offers skills-focused interventions that teach coping strategies for stress, anxiety, and mood challenges - practical tools clients can use between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. She also provides trauma-informed processing that helps people explore and make sense of painful experiences at a pace that feels manageable. For clients working on substance use or patterns of compulsive behavior, Kelsey incorporates recovery-focused strategies aimed at relapse prevention and building healthier routines.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Kelsey works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and the therapist review progress together and adjust the plan as goals evolve.



Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. These options increase accessibility and flexibility - clients can connect from home, work, or while traveling and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can deliver meaningful, structured support through these formats, helping clients make steady progress toward their goals.
