Getting to know Kelita Lugg
I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy for teens and adults in Connecticut. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, life transitions, parenting, relationships, and emotional overwhelm. I draw from CBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based therapy to help clients better understand patterns, building coping skills, and move toward meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you are used to handling everything on your own. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgement. In our work together, we will move at a pace that feels realistic while identifying goals, building coping tools, and making space for reflection, growth, and change.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In the first session, we will talk about what brings you to therapy, what you hope to work on, and what support may feel most helpful right now. I take time to understand your history, current stressors, strengths, and goals. From there, we work together to create a plan that feels realistic and manageable.
Ongoing sessions may include reflection, skill-building, identifying patterns, exploring emotions, strengthening coping strategies, and working through life experiences at a pace that feels safe. My style is collaborative, trauma-informed, and practical, with space for both emotional processing and real-life tools you can outside of sessions.

I had my first session with her recently, and it was a really positive experience. She made me feel comfortable right away and created a space where I felt safe to talk openly. She listened without judgment, asked thoughtful questions, and made me feel like I was truly being heard. Even after just one session, I left feeling more hopeful and with a better understanding of how to move forward. I’m looking forward to continuing my sessions and would definitely recommend her.
