Kelly James-Fraser

Kelly James-Fraser is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She began her career in inpatient and forensic settings and has supported people through PTSD, depression, anxiety, and trauma. Her background includes work with veterans and young adults as well as people facing severe and chronic mental health challenges.

She has provided therapy in inpatient units, a forensic hospital context, and within correctional settings where she carried out therapy and parole evaluations. She also practiced in a group private practice setting, seeing children, adolescents, young adults, couples, and veterans. These roles shaped a practical, grounded approach to difficult situations.

In session she uses a person-centered style that keeps the client's perspective central. She blends techniques from several methods to create a plan that fits each person. Conversations focus on clear goals, coping skills, and steps people can use outside the therapy hour.

Kelly commonly works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and a range of behavioral concerns including addictions and ADHD. She also helps people dealing with caregiving strain, chronic illness, body image, and commitment or control issues.

Her practice emphasizes practical strategies and steady support. She will listen, help set reachable goals, and adjust approaches as needs change. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online work

Kelly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and changing unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experiences, offering a supportive space to talk and decide what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time as progress and challenges emerge.

Confirm the specific session options before booking, since the profile does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require video if that helps with bandwidth or comfort. Ask about current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can plan sessions that work with your routine.
