About Kelly
Kelly Burkett is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 16 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for everyday problems and aims to make therapy clear and doable. Kelly speaks plain language and keeps sessions focused on steps people can try between meetings.
She helps people facing stress, anxiety, and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship concerns, career questions, and attention challenges related to ADHD.
Background and approach
Kelly encourages clients to notice their strengths and use them to move forward. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions often involve setting small goals, trying new skills, and reviewing what worked.
Kelly treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and offers tools to make change easier. Kelly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a main approach. That means looking at how thoughts and behaviors interact, then testing small changes to reduce distress.
She balances practical exercises with time to talk about what matters most to each client. People who prefer clear steps, short-term goals, and a supportive but direct therapist often find her approach helpful. Kelly aims to make the process less overwhelming and more manageable, one conversation at a time.
CBT and practical online therapy options
Kelly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT focuses on testing thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and building skills to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress. It can also help with time management, focus, and planning when ADHD symptoms get in the way.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and daily life. She adapts the work as needs change and reviews what is useful together.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video lets people work face to face from wherever they are, phone calls use less bandwidth, chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy days.
