Kelly Stone

Kelly Stone is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges tied to bipolar or personality disorders. Kelly approaches therapy as a collaborative process and encourages clients to build on their existing strengths.

Kelly uses a whole-person perspective that looks at emotions, behaviors, and daily routines. In sessions she listens closely and works with each person to set clear, manageable goals. She draws on techniques from client-centered therapy to keep the work focused on the client's experience and priorities.

Her approach blends cognitive behavioral strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking with emotionally focused ideas to strengthen connection and processing. Mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing help with coping, relapse prevention, and making changes that feel doable. She also attends to issues like abandonment, attachment, body image, and codependency when those topics come up.

Kelly has eight years of professional experience and brings practical, down-to-earth guidance. She aims to make sessions feel straightforward and goal-oriented, with steps clients can try between visits. People who want a therapist who listens, collaborates, and helps them try new approaches may find her style a good fit.

She welcomes clients who speak English and is open to working with international clients. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details to match individual needs.

How Kelly’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Kelly frequently uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities and lived experience. This approach emphasizes listening and collaboration, helping clients set goals that feel meaningful to them.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical behavior changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood swings by breaking problems into clear, testable steps.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is another tool she brings, which helps people explore attachment and relationship patterns and work toward stronger emotional connection and regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will collaborate with each client to decide which mix of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is reviewed and adjusted over time based on what helps.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into busy lives. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or keep appointments during a work break.
