Getting to know Kelly Thompson

Hi there, I'm Kelly! Hi, I’m Kelly Thompson, LCSW. I offer a warm, collaborative approach to therapy, with focus areas including grief, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, life transitions, caregiver stress, and meaning-making during difficult seasons. My focus I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, chronic illness, stress, relationship concerns, caregiving, and major life transitions. I’m especially comfortable supporting clients who are carrying complex emotions while still trying to function in daily life. My approach My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I draw from person-centered therapy, CBT, mindfulness/somatic awareness, grief therapy, and insight-oriented work, while tailoring therapy to each client’s pace, nervous system, values, and goals. My communication style My communication style is warm, thoughtful, and direct when helpful. I aim to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel respected, emotionally safe, and gently challenged as we explore what is hurting and what may help. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I’m drawn to people’s stories and to the courage it takes to heal. My work as a social worker, including hospice work, deepened my belief that even in painful seasons, people deserve support, dignity, connection, and hope. My goals for you I approach goals collaboratively. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’d like to feel or do differently, and what would make therapy feel useful to you. Goals can be practical, emotional, relational, or simply a place to begin. Our first session In a first session, you can expect a gentle conversation about what’s bringing you to therapy, your history, current concerns, and hopes for our work together. You don’t have to tell everything at once; we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable to you.
