About Kelly

Kelly Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee. She brings ten years as an LPC-MHSP and over a decade of focused counseling experience to her work. Kelly aims to offer a calm, listening presence so people feel heard and able to take small steps forward.

She helps adults deal with stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout of trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing life changes, low self-esteem, and feelings of emptiness or isolation and loneliness. Sessions focus on practical coping skills and making changes that fit daily life.

Kelly blends several approaches to tailor care to each person. She uses client-centered methods to build understanding, cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking, and dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear in her work to help clients connect with values and stay motivated.

Kelly emphasizes collaboration. She and the person she’s working with set clear goals and pick tools that match those goals. The work often includes practicing skills between sessions and checking what helps most.

People who want straightforward, supportive counseling that focuses on coping and gradual change may find her style a good fit. Those considering therapy can choose the Start Therapy button to begin the intake and matching process.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist reflects what the person says, helps them name their concerns, and supports them as they decide what to change. This approach helps build trust and clarity before moving to skills work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving how someone interacts with others. Skills include distress tolerance and emotion regulation, which can be practiced between sessions to see real-life effects.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try specific tools, and adjust methods together. Clients help guide which strategies feel most useful for their situation.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find it simpler to continue practicing skills in their daily routines when sessions happen online.
