About Kelly

Kelly Conlon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, eating and body image concerns, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, parenting strain, addiction, ADHD, and issues related to adoption and foster care. Kelly aims to make therapy approachable and down-to-earth for people feeling overwhelmed.

She creates a warm, non-judgmental space where people can speak honestly and start making small changes. Sessions include straightforward conversation, practical skills, and moments of reflection. Kelly blends gentle challenge with compassion and sometimes uses humor to ease tense moments.

Kelly studied Childhood and Family Development at the University of Georgia and earned a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. Over eight years she has worked in hospitals, residential and outpatient eating disorder centers, substance abuse programs, and private practice settings. That range shaped her ability to help with both immediate problems and longer-term patterns.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and a client-centered style. She adapts these methods to each person’s needs instead of using a single formula.

Outside of work she enjoys cooking, hiking, travel, reading, and time with family and pets. She keeps a practical focus in sessions, helping people build skills they can use in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Kelly often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive behavior. ACT focuses on values and small, consistent actions that move life in a desired direction. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, which can help with trust, closeness, and relationship problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she uses to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build different coping skills for anxiety, depression, and eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Kelly works with clients to test what fits, adjust methods, and set clear goals. She adapts exercises and pacing to match each person’s needs and preferences so therapy stays useful and manageable.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make skill practice and homework easier to apply directly in daily life.
