About Kelley
Kelley Turner is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor (LPCC) with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She uses a warm, client-centered style that aims to make conversations feel easy and nonjudgmental. Many people come to her when they want clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and better ways to cope.
She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and that range informs how she approaches care.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens first and then helps people try new ways of responding to hard feelings. She draws on practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy when thoughts and behaviors get stuck. Kelley also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and stress tolerance are needed. Emotion-focused techniques help when relationship patterns and intimacy concerns are the focus. Parents and caregivers often seek support for parenting stress, blended family dynamics, or caregiver burnout.
Kelley also addresses grief, anger, career strain, and compassion fatigue with a focus on realistic, doable strategies rather than abstract theory. She speaks English and works from Ohio under the LPCC credential. Some complex or high-risk concerns are handled only in person, and Kelley will discuss which options fit a person’s needs and safety.
Kelley aims to create a working relationship where people feel heard, try small changes, and build practical habits that fit their lives.

How Kelley’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Kelley blends cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas when working online. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how a person feels. It is helpful for anxiety, low mood, and problem-solving day-to-day challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify personal values and take small, meaningful steps even when difficult feelings are present.She treats the choice of approach as a shared decision. During the first sessions she will listen to priorities, explain options, and suggest which methods might fit the goals. Together the client and therapist adjust strategies over time based on what is helpful and realistic for the client's life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video makes it easy to talk face-to-face and practice skills together, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and messaging can support brief updates, homework, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and allow people to get support without large travel time.
