Kent Kelley , LPC, LCPC

Kent Kelley brings 24 years of experience in the helping professions to his counseling work in Colorado. He holds LPC and LCPC credentials - state licenses that indicate formal training and authorization to practice as a professional counselor - and he focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and career challenges, addictions, ADHD, and life transitions. Kent observes how current social divisions, economic uncertainty, and the lingering effects of the pandemic have added new pressure to otherwise well-functioning lives, contributing to job disruption, relationship strain, worry about the future, and mental fatigue from persistent negative news. He emphasizes non-judgmental support and practical coping strategies to help people find clearer direction and greater well-being.

Kent uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person’s situation, offering coaching and therapeutic tools that aim to restore resilience and daily functioning. His style balances structured techniques with empathetic listening so clients can explore difficult experiences, rebuild self-esteem, and make changes that align with their values. Kent’s practice is geared toward adults seeking focused, collaborative work on immediate problems and longer-term growth.

Approaches that guide online care and recovery

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and build practical skills to act in line with those values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, low motivation, and life transitions because it focuses on increasing psychological flexibility rather than eliminating difficult thoughts.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in close relationships and how they affect current interactions and emotional responses. This approach can be especially helpful for relationship tensions, family dynamics, and healing from past relational trauma by strengthening safer ways of connecting.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers structured techniques to identify and modify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It commonly supports work on anxiety, depression, and coping skills by teaching concrete strategies that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Kent will work collaboratively with each client to select and adapt methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences so therapy feels relevant and usable in everyday life.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and access to care from home or other convenient locations. Kent can meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for the client.
