About Kellie
Kellie Kiernan is an Ohio-licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 15 years of experience. She works with adults and focuses on emotional concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. Kellie uses talk and practical tools to help people manage feelings and daily challenges.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside cognitive and behavioral ideas. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques, and existential perspectives when helpful.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill practice for emotion regulation and communication skills training. Kellie supports people facing relationship strain, intimacy-related worries, abandonment fears, and attachment issues. She also helps with anger, low self-esteem, isolation, and forgiveness work.
She offers guidance for navigating life changes and end-of-life counseling concerns. She provides care to residents of Ohio and conducts appointments through messaging formats rather than live video or phone calls. Her schedule is primarily weekday mornings, and messages sent outside a scheduled appointment are answered within 24 to 48 hours.
Initial work begins with a consultation to review the issues bringing someone to therapy and to decide if her approach is a good fit. Clients should expect clear boundaries around documentation requests and session timing, and practical guidance aimed at improving daily functioning and emotional understanding.

Online support
How emotion-focused and skills-based approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and shifting patterns in how people respond to feelings. In online sessions this looks like noticing emotional responses, naming them, and practicing new ways to express needs and connect with others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and choosing actions that match personal values; it helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps and uses short exercises to change thinking patterns and practice new habits.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, what has worked before, and daily routines to find the best fit. Plans are adjusted as therapy progresses so techniques match the client’s needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone can be a lower-bandwidth option when video is difficult. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, and flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. These options make it easier to access therapy during busy or changing schedules.
