About Kelly

LCSW in Louisiana with 22 years of practice, Kelly Harper focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, and depression. She works with adults to address common life challenges and the effects of trauma and grief. Kelly uses practical methods so people can start making changes in everyday life.

Kelly frames clients as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. She emphasizes clear, goal-focused sessions that help people identify small steps. Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to keep work practical and action oriented.

In sessions she talks through current problems and helps set measurable goals. She uses techniques from CBT to spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety active. Solution-Focused methods help clients find what already works and scale those strategies.

Kelly also addresses issues related to relationships, compassion fatigue, and the stress of caregiving. Other areas she supports include aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family concerns, and workplace stress. She works with people coping with traumatic brain injury, intellectual disability, and issues such as guilt, shame, and forgiveness.

Her style is straightforward and task-oriented. Sessions aim to leave clients with clear steps to try between meetings. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service's matching process.

How her approaches translate to remote work

Kelly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change thought and behavior patterns that keep stress and anxiety active. CBT sessions often include concrete skill practice, thought records, and small behavioral experiments to test new ways of coping.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify existing strengths and quick steps that produce real results. Solution-Focused work centers on goals and what is already working, which can speed progress when a client wants clear, actionable change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as work progresses so sessions stay relevant and practical.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and goal-setting to work well in remote appointments so progress can continue between meetings.
