Getting to know Dr. Kelly Panas

Hi there, I'm Kelly! My name is Kelly Panas and I am a clinical psychologist. I have a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and am based in Connecticut and work with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety including panic disorder and phobias, depression, trauma, adjustment issues, and chronic pain. My approach My therapy style is a combination of a Mindfulness-based approach and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (examining the interaction between thoughts, emotions, and behavior). I am certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy to treat trauma, as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for depression. I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Treatment for chronic pain. By working in collaboration with each individual, I tailor the above strategies to make progress and meet each individual's therapy goals. My focus I have over a decade of experience treating adults with a wide variety of presenting concerns including depression, anxiety including panic disorder, phobias, and OCD, stress, adjustment issues, trauma, and chronic pain. Many issues impact how individuals relate to themselves and others in their world, so examining self-esteem and interactional approach are often important parts of treatment. My communication style My communication style is warm, validating, calm, empowering, and solutions-focused. I provide a safe environment for individuals to feel heard and seen in sharing about their life and circumstances. My journey to mental healthcare I have always been drawn to helping provide support to people experiencing difficult situations. I am passionate about helping individuals improve their mood, functioning, relationships, and quality of life. It is inspiring to see individuals make change in their lives, and to see people be resilient in the face of life's challenges. My goals for you My approach to goal setting with individuals is collaborative.
