John Kelly, LPC

John Kelly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and major life changes. He draws on long experience to offer straightforward support and practical strategies.

He focuses on clear goals and steady progress. Sessions cover things like mood struggles, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting stress, and caregiver strain. His work also addresses ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue.

John’s style is client-centered. That means he listens first and helps people shape the plan. He combines talk, skills training, and mindfulness to build tools people can use day to day.

He uses cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. He also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people make room for hard feelings while moving toward what matters. Emotion-focused ideas are used when emotions and closeness in relationships need attention.

John has experience in crisis counseling, substance use support, and group work. He offers individual therapy and group formats and has worked with people on adoption, abandonment, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, and aging and geriatric issues. He practices in Alabama and communicates in English.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small steps toward meaningful goals. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and major life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that maintain problems. It is commonly applied to depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and habit change.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships. It can help with intimacy-related concerns and communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, life context, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking, since the biography lists individual and group work but does not detail all formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions are more convenient. It also supports using worksheets, mindfulness exercises, and behavioral planning between meetings to keep progress moving.
