About Darcie

Darcie Kelly is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of practice. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and works from Montana. Darcie focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting concerns.

She takes a direct and practical approach in sessions. She meets people where they are and helps them set clear, achievable steps for change. Sessions often mix behavioral strategies with thoughtful conversation about patterns and values.

Background and approach

Darcie draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small actions that match their values. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Mindfulness practices are woven in to support emotional regulation and present-moment awareness.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Indiana University, Bloomington, a Master of Social Work from Walla Walla College in Missoula, Montana, and additional graduate coursework in Applied Behavior Analysis at Montana State University. That mix of training informs her focus on behavior change and practical problem solving.

Clients often come for a mix of concerns such as body image, eating-related issues, grief, intimacy-related struggles, and relationship patterns including nontraditional arrangements. Darcie aims to create a warm, inviting space without judgment and to help people build skills that fit their daily lives.

Online support

Practical approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven actions even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where choices feel stalled. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing and adjusting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going; it is practical for panic, mood disorders, and many day-to-day stressors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect emotions and behavior, and it can help with intimacy issues and relationship-related distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the person’s goals and try different strategies to find what fits. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay relevant and actionable.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules or travel are limited. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into real life while using evidence-informed approaches.
