About Kelly
Kelly Conlon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with eight years of experience in mental health. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, mood concerns like depression and bipolar, relationship strain, eating and body image issues, addiction concerns, parenting challenges, and anger. Kelly also supports people navigating grief, trauma, and life transitions.
Kelly trained in Childhood and Family Development and holds a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. She has worked in hospitals, residential and outpatient eating disorder centers, outpatient substance use treatment, and private practice settings. That range means she has seen many different kinds of problems and ways people cope.
In sessions she relies on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered work. She uses these methods to help people notice patterns, make concrete changes, and practice new ways of responding to strong feelings.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She works with individuals and with couples on relationship issues, using clear skills training and structured exercises when helpful. Expect honest conversation, some homework between sessions, and moments of lightness alongside the serious work.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys cooking, hiking, travel, reading, and time with family and pets. That personal side informs a relaxed, human approach in sessions.
How Kelly uses evidence-based approaches online
Kelly often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult thoughts while taking committed action. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns.She may also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness when people struggle with intense feelings or relationship conflicts. DBT skills are concrete tools to reduce reactivity and improve communication in tense moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit a person’s situation, and adjust plans as needed. She emphasizes skill practice and short experiments between sessions so progress can be tracked and refined.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow quicker check-ins when tensions rise, and let people use written exercises or screen-shared worksheets during sessions. Ask about which formats are available so you can pick what matches your schedule and needs.
