About Kelly
Kelly Wooldridge is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Nevada with 30 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, family challenges, trauma and abuse, and anger. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Over three decades Kelly has worked in many settings with a wide range of people. She has experience supporting those who have experienced past trauma and those dealing with grief and family-related strain. Her approach is straightforward and skills-based, focusing on what clients can do between sessions to feel steadier in day-to-day life.
Kelly draws on evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also uses Attachment-Based ideas and relationship-focused work influenced by the Gottman Method when appropriate. These methods guide concrete tools for handling anger, communication problems, and relationship stress.
In sessions she talks through patterns that keep problems active, practices new ways of responding, and builds routines that support change. Homework and simple exercises are commonly used to turn insights into practice. The tone is practical and goal-oriented rather than theoretical.
Clients can expect clear discussion of goals, regular checks on progress, and collaborative planning for coping strategies. Kelly aims to help people reduce reactivity, strengthen relationships, and regain a sense of control over everyday responses.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger that leads to avoidance or ongoing frustration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and reactive anger. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns formed early in life and how they show up now; this can help with anger tied to trust, abandonment, or closeness issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions. That means plans can shift as progress is reviewed and new needs appear.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as they are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats use video, while others may use different arrangements dependent on the platform and practitioner; check the matching questionnaire for specifics. Online work still uses practical exercises, behavioral experiments, and communication practice so tools learned in sessions can be used during everyday life.
