About Anna
Anna Lehew Kelley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping parents and individuals manage stress, parenting challenges, relationships, anxiety, depression, and addiction. Her style is collaborative and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping people take the next step when life feels overwhelming.
Kelley begins by listening to what matters most to each person and looking for patterns that keep problems repeating. She helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that can ease strong emotions.
Background and approach
When trauma is part of the story she may use structured methods designed to lessen traumatic reactions. Her training includes approaches that emphasize connection, understanding a person’s perspective, and teaching practical coping skills. Sessions often focus on clear goals and small changes that add up over time.
Parents find practical strategies for everyday stress and relationship moments rather than abstract theory. Kelley draws on 12 years of clinical experience in West Virginia and holds an LCSW credential. She adapts tools from different approaches to match each person’s needs, temperament, and goals.
Expect a calm, direct style that balances listening with practical suggestions. People who choose her usually want straightforward help sorting relationship strains, parenting pressures, grief, or the fallout from addiction and trauma. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort level.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current connections. Online sessions can explore those patterns and practice new ways of relating in real time with guidance from a therapist.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and tests new behaviors. It often uses homework and brief exercises that fit well into video or text-based sessions, so skills can be practiced between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what is working.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat provides a quicker check-in, and text messaging supports brief reflections or reminders. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and make follow-up easier between longer sessions.
