Kelly Brock

Kelly Brock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what feels stuck. Kelly aims to help people notice patterns, learn simple tools, and take small steps toward feeling steadier. Kelly uses a collaborative first session to map out current concerns and future goals. She asks about what matters most and helps set a flexible plan to move forward. Sessions focus on practical next steps that fit each person’s life and preferences. Her clinical work draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered practice, cognitive-behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. That mix lets her address the ways past relationships shape current feelings, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and build motivation for change. She adapts methods to what each person needs rather than following a single script. Kelly trained at the University of Pittsburgh with a Master of Social Work and earlier completed a Bachelor of Education in Family and Human Services at the University of Oregon. She has spent time in community crisis intervention, working with people experiencing homelessness, complex trauma, addiction, and re-entry after incarceration. With ten years of experience, she brings practical problem-solving and a willingness to try new approaches with clients. She encourages questions and works with people at their own pace as they learn what helps them feel more capable and in control.

Approaches for online work and how they help

Kelly often draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions; this can help when trust, abandonment concerns, or attachment issues affect daily life. Client-centered therapy is also central to her work and means sessions follow the person's pace and priorities while the therapist offers support and reflection. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kelly will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She discusses options and adjusts the plan as progress and challenges emerge.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. Some methods, like CBT exercises or narrative work, adapt well to remote sessions and can be used to practice skills between meetings.
