About Kelly
LICSW Kelly Petravicz has four years of clinical experience in Massachusetts and focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and ADHD. She also addresses attachment issues, caregiver stress, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety and phobia. Kelly works with individuals to identify practical steps they can take to feel more steady day to day.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and skill building. Sessions emphasize clear strategies for managing overwhelming feelings and for organizing life when symptoms interfere with routine. Kelly helps clients break problems into small, manageable steps and practices coping skills together during sessions.
Her approach is trauma-informed and collaborative. That means she pays attention to how past experiences affect current reactions and works with each person to set achievable goals. The focus is on skills people can use between sessions, such as grounding, mood tracking, and planning small behavior changes.
Kelly gives particular attention to perinatal mood concerns and caregiver stress. She supports people weighing the demands of caregiving while managing depression, anxiety, bipolar experiences, or ADHD-related challenges. Conversations include practical problem solving around sleep, routines, and support systems.
Clients can expect straightforward talk and concrete tools. Kelly aims to help people notice small improvements and build on them. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.

How evidence-based approaches shape online sessions
Kelly draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions around clear goals. One approach she uses focuses on skill building for mood and anxiety management, teaching techniques such as mood tracking, behavioral activation, and grounding. These tools help with day-to-day symptom management and planning small changes that add up over time.Another approach addresses trauma and attachment concerns by attending to how past experiences affect current relationships and reactions. Sessions include practices that reduce reactivity and increase awareness of patterns, useful for people with post-traumatic stress or social anxiety.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Kelly treats treatment planning as a collaborative process and will help clients decide which techniques to try first based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is observed and as goals evolve.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when full sessions are not possible. Discussing practical scheduling needs during the first meeting helps match session length and timing to everyday routines.
