About Kelly
Kelly Van Vleet is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She has eight years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or stuck. Kelly aims to make therapy a calm, straightforward place to talk and work on what matters to you.
She supports people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, major life transitions, and the daily stress that wears on mood and energy. Kelly also helps with concerns related to aging, caregiving, blended family dynamics, cancer, attachment, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.
Background and approach
Her approach focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. In sessions she listens closely and centers each conversation on the person in front of her. Kelly uses Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting space, and she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy guide short-term goals and decisions when that is helpful. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She aims to break problems into small, manageable pieces and build on what already works in a person’s life.
Kelly works with people in plain language and with concrete strategies rather than clinical jargon. All sessions are offered in English and are structured to meet individual needs. People who choose to work with Kelly will find a therapist who values collaboration, practical tools, and steady support as they work toward clearer thinking and healthier routines.

Approaches for online work and practical change
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person sets the pace and priorities; it helps when someone needs acceptance and clearer self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Kelly will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or goals shift.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter, frequent check-ins and when someone prefers written communication. These options provide flexibility so therapy can work around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
