About Kelly
Kelly Wooldridge is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Nevada with 30 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Kelly also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and can help people facing stepfamily challenges or transitions.
Kelly has worked across many settings with individuals, couples, adolescents, and families. She draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and the Gottman Method. In practice she talks through what is happening now and looks at patterns that keep problems cycling.
Sessions tend to combine skills work with focused conversation. That might mean practicing grounding or emotion regulation skills, testing small behavior changes, and talking about relationships and boundaries. She pays attention to issues like attachment, communication problems, commitment concerns, and family of origin patterns.
Kelly has supported people dealing with adoption or foster care concerns, abandonment, substance use issues, divorce and separation, and disruptive mood concerns. She also addresses body image, control issues, emptiness, and problems tied to parenting or blended households.
People can expect straightforward, practical sessions that address current stressors and plan concrete next steps. To begin, follow the site's process for online therapy options and scheduling a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then committing to actions that match personal values; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and patterns that feel limiting. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current closeness and trust, which can help with communication and loyalty conflicts in stepfamilies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which suits anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Kelly will work with each person to identify what fits their goals and preferences, and she will suggest ways to combine skills practice with relationship-focused work as needed. That lets sessions focus on immediate problems while building longer term routines.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because they are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy family life. For example, some people prefer a shorter check-in when time is tight, while others choose a longer session to talk through complex situations. Online sessions also reduce the need to travel and can be scheduled around school or work commitments, which may make it simpler to keep momentum between meetings.
