About Anna
Anna Lehew Kelley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a calm, straightforward approach. She meets people where they are and helps them find practical steps forward. Her style is collaborative and nonjudgmental, aimed at reducing stress and improving daily coping.
She has a Master of Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh and brings 12 years of clinical experience. Anna has supported people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She uses a mix of therapies to match each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. In sessions she focuses on identifying patterns that cause distress and teaching skills to change them. That can mean learning emotion regulation tools, practicing new ways to communicate, or trying steps to reduce avoidance.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is one of the approaches she includes for processing trauma when appropriate. Her work often blends attachment-focused ideas with practical cognitive and behavioral tools. That helps people understand how past relationships shape current reactions and then make small, doable changes.
She also draws on techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to build distress tolerance and emotional control. Anna aims to create a steady, predictable process so people can feel safer taking difficult steps. Sessions are focused, plainspoken, and goal-driven.
The emphasis is on skills you can use between meetings to make real change.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early connections shape current reactions and relationship patterns; online work uses discussion and exercises to build more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often using homework and short skill practice between sessions to see quick benefits. EMDR is used as a trauma-focused method that can reduce the intensity of painful memories by combining targeted memory work with bilateral stimulation when appropriate.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That way the work stays practical and targeted to the individual's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and EMDR-style work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messages provide brief check-ins or flexible support during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping the focus on tangible tools and steady progress.
