Kelly Van Vleet, LCMHC

Kelly Van Vleet, LCMHC, is a licensed therapist in North Carolina with eight years of experience. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and major life changes. If everyday pressure feels heavy, she offers a calm space to talk and breathe.

In sessions Kelly listens closely and helps clients name what matters most to them. She focuses on practical steps to reduce worry and lift mood, and on improving how people relate to others. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Her approach draws from client-centered therapy, which centers the client’s experience, and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are also used to set clear goals and build momentum.

Kelly pays particular attention to issues that often come with aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, and serious medical challenges like cancer. She also works with relationship topics such as attachment, communication, infidelity, and blended family dynamics.

People can expect straightforward language, respectful listening, and practical strategies to try between sessions. Kelly aims to help clients feel more confident, less overwhelmed, and better able to manage day-to-day challenges.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Kelly often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on the client’s experience and emphasizes being heard and respected. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to sort through feelings and make decisions at their own pace.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and lift mood. CBT is practical and often includes small exercises to do between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Kelly will listen to your goals and preferences and work with you to try methods that fit your needs. She adapts the plan as you make progress or as priorities change.

The profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current 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 that works better. Talk with Kelly about what schedule and session length best fit your life, and she will help you arrange sessions that match your routine and goals.
