“Kelli is awesome! She’s very personable as well as knowledgeable. She is very good at relating with her patients and seeing where they are coming from while also helping see others view points and always has helpful suggestions on better ways to communicate to get through to people. I’ve seen many therapists and I wish I had found her sooner because I would be a lot farther along in my progression. She doesn’t push her views and is great at listening and kind of helping her patients find their own answers and understandings of what’s going on with their surroundings. Highly highly recommended!!!”

“Kelli is awesome, she is great at both listening and advising. It's like she can sense when you need to rant, and when you need direction. She has really good insights.”

Getting to know Kelli Means
My name is Kelli Means and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I am a licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) and licensed alcohol and drug counselor (LADC) in the state of Nebraska, as well as a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Louisiana and South Dakota. In 2019, I became a Certified Clinical Trauma Therapist. I earned my BS in Psychology from Nebraska Wesleyan University in 2011 and my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wayne State College in 2015.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My job will never be to fix you or change you. I believe all my clients are people first and more than the sum of their symptoms or their diagnosis. My most significant job as a therapist is to understand who you are and build trust with you; if you don’t trust your therapist, you aren’t likely to tell them much, and if you don’t tell them much, you won’t get much work done. My hope is to teach you to cope on your own and learn to be assertive with what you want or need in life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The first time we meet, we will go over hat you are wanting to work on and a snapshot of your life up until now. My counseling style is welcoming and conversational. I am known for being upfront and honest always and blunt when needed, though I tailor my approach to meet each individual’s needs. My therapeutic approach combines Person-Centered, Reality Therapy, Solution-Focused therapist, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, and Somatic therapy depending on what you want or need.
