About Kelsey
Kelsey Hackler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 12 years of experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and anger, along with related struggles such as low self-esteem and relationship issues.
She helps people talk through what’s happening and figure out practical next steps. Sessions focus on everyday problems - difficulty managing frustration, recurring fights, feeling overwhelmed at work, or carrying past hurts. Kelsey draws on several approaches to meet a person’s needs rather than using a single method.
Her background includes work with people diagnosed with mood and thought disorders and those coping with trauma and anger. That clinical experience informs how she listens and prioritizes safety and stability in early sessions. She aims to help clients build skills they can use between appointments.
Kelsey uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies. She also integrates motivational interviewing for goal-setting and trauma-focused approaches when needed. The emphasis is on small, doable changes and clearer thinking about patterns that keep problems going.
People who meet with her can expect direct feedback, structured skill practice, and a focus on realistic goals. Her style is practical and straightforward - helping clients notice what works, try new responses, and adjust when things don’t go as planned.
How Kelsey uses ACT, CBT and mindfulness online
Kelsey commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and practice actions that align with those values. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and moving toward chosen goals rather than getting stuck trying to eliminate every feeling.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT gives concrete tools for reducing anxiety, managing anger, and changing behaviors that cause repeated conflict. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises that lower reactivity and make it easier to pause before responding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelsey will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She may combine ACT, CBT, mindfulness, or solution-focused techniques and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins, avoid travel time, and use screen or phone only when helpful. Many people find remote sessions let them practice skills in day-to-day contexts and carry small changes into their routines.
