Dr. Anthony Kelley

Dr. Anthony Kelley is a licensed marriage and family therapist with sixteen years of clinical experience. He previously served as a U.S. Army chaplain and now provides therapy in Florida. He treats people with respect and sensitivity while helping them navigate difficult issues.

He focuses on relationship struggles, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem. He also addresses abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, control issues, dissociation, and infidelity. Narcissism is listed among his areas of interest.

Dr. Kelley commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. He blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people access and name emotions, and he uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma memories are a central concern. He also draws on Client-Centered and Solution-Focused approaches to keep work practical and grounded.

In sessions he aims to tailor conversation and treatment to each person's needs. He emphasizes clear goals and steps clients can take between meetings. He presents a calm, direct style shaped by military chaplaincy and clinical practice.

People considering therapy are invited to think about what they most want to change. The first step described is completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current bonds. It helps people notice repeating hurtful patterns and try different ways of relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name strong feelings and understand how those feelings drive behavior in relationships. It is often used when couples or partners want clearer emotional connection, and it can also help individuals who struggle with closeness or trust. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used when trauma memories are causing symptoms; it works by helping the brain process those memories so they feel less overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, history, and preferences to decide which methods to emphasize. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Please confirm current session options before booking since specific online formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can shorten travel time, allow scheduling around work or caregiving, and make it simpler to keep regular check-ins. Some formats also let people choose audio-only or video according to what feels most practical for the moment.
