About Anthony

Dr. Anthony Kelley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 16 years of clinical experience. He practices in Florida and brings a calm, direct style to therapy.

He focuses on trauma, relationships, grief, and self-esteem while tailoring care to each person's needs. He spent part of his career as a U.S. Army chaplain, which shaped his approach to stressful and traumatic experiences.

That background helps him stay steady when conversations become difficult.

Background and approach

He uses EMDR alongside other methods when appropriate to help people process trauma and painful memories. In sessions he centers on clear listening and practical steps. He listens for patterns in attachment, communication, and how past hurts affect current life.

Clients can expect honest, respectful dialogue and a plan shaped around their goals and pace. Dr. Kelley draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people rebuild connection and understand relationship patterns.

He also uses solution-focused techniques to set reachable goals and track progress over time. Therapy is offered in English and delivered via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Costs vary with location and are handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches suited for online work

Dr. Kelley uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand how early connection patterns affect current relationships. This approach looks at how attachment styles show up in trust, closeness, and conflict and helps people form more supported ways of relating.

He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which focuses on identifying and shifting patterns of interaction that fuel distress. EFT helps people name emotions, respond to them differently, and rebuild stronger emotional bonds with others.

EMDR is included in his practice as a way to process traumatic memories. In EMDR, he guides clients through structured processing to reduce the intensity of painful recollections and associated reactions when appropriate for the client's needs.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past. Together they choose techniques and shape a plan that can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let therapists and clients read facial cues and tone in real time. Phone sessions can be useful when lower bandwidth or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, homework, or when writing helps someone reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work focused and goal-oriented.
