About Kelly
Kelly Owens is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings nine years of experience in the mental health field and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. Kelly uses practical, person-focused methods to help clients reach their goals.
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person's needs. She emphasizes warmth, understanding, and a nonjudgmental style so people feel safe talking about hard things.
Background and approach
Her background includes work across multiple mental health settings and regular use of online therapy. That experience informs how she adapts tools and techniques for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Kelly aims to match the method to the situation and the client’s comfort level.
Therapeutic tools she commonly uses include client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas. She draws from these in simple ways - for example helping someone notice unhelpful thoughts, practice a new behavior, process difficult memories, or set and follow personal goals.
Many people reach out to Kelly for help with parenting strain, family conflict, grief, identity questions, workplace stress, and the ripple effects of past hurt. She helps people break big problems into manageable steps and build coping skills that fit daily life.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a trusting working relationship. It involves active listening, reflecting what a person says, and helping them identify their own goals and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can be practiced between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to help people process distressing memories by following structured steps that can be adapted for remote sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and the problem they want to address. She combines approaches as needed and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what should change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and chat or messaging fits quick check-ins or busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other daily routines while keeping the focus on progress and practical skills.
