About Kelli

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 10 years of experience, Kelli Smith focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, family issues, trauma and parenting support. She uses cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, solution-focused, and trauma-focused approaches to help people manage symptoms and make concrete change.

Kelli works in clear, practical steps. She helps people set goals and break problems into manageable parts. Sessions often include cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, mindfulness exercises to reduce anxiety, and solution-focused planning to identify next steps.

Kelli emphasizes collaboration. She and the client map goals and decide whether short-term or longer work fits best. Typical work can include skill-building for anger or impulsivity, communication practice, and planning for transitions like divorce or pregnancy.

She writes about anxiety, organizational skills, communication, faith, and boundaries, and has published multiple books on these topics. Kelli practices in English and is based in Louisiana. For people outside the United States, international sessions are not accepted.

How her approaches shape remote work

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. In practice this looks like setting clear goals, using worksheets or thought records, and practicing new behaviors between sessions. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. Sessions include short exercises and guidance on using mindfulness during daily life to cope with strong emotions or to improve focus.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. Kelli will talk with the client about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Plans are revised together as needed rather than fixed from the start.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so work or family routines are less disrupted. Ask about available session lengths and scheduling when arranging the first appointment.
