About Kelley
Kelley Sullivan is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of practice. She lives in Colorado and brings steady, practical support to people wrestling with anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. Kelley offers care in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Kelley frames sessions around each person's story. She listens first, then helps people identify concrete steps they can try between meetings. Sessions aim to make emotional problems easier to manage, not to rush big changes.
Background and approach
Her background includes long experience with trauma and abuse, addiction, and mood disorders such as bipolar. She also supports people facing stress from caregiving, chronic illness, body image and eating concerns, and the effects of abandonment or adoption histories. Kelley blends practical methods like cognitive behavioral tools with approaches that focus on relationships and values.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify what matters, and attachment-informed ideas to look at how early bonds shape current patterns. Systemic perspectives help her notice how a person's wider relationships and roles affect daily life. People who choose Kelley often want a straightforward, steady guide through hard moments.
She works by exploring patterns, teaching coping skills, and setting doable goals. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Systemic ideas look at how roles, routines, and relationships shape day-to-day problems. Online sessions can map those patterns by talking through interactions, identifying repeating cycles, and setting small experiments to try at home or work.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. In remote work this can mean setting brief at-home exercises and checking progress in a follow-up message or chat.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current feelings and ways of relating. Over video or phone, the therapist and client can review patterns, practice new ways of connecting, and track changes between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, listen to goals and preferences, and try methods that fit each person's needs. Adjustments are routine as therapists and clients see what helps.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for relationship and emotional work. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between appointments, share brief updates, or schedule quick problem-solving moments without a full session.
