About Kelly
Kelly Brock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience. She holds LCSW in Pennsylvania and LISW in Iowa. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and trauma and abuse, and she also addresses family of origin and attachment concerns.
Kelly keeps first sessions straightforward. She asks what is happening now and what the person hopes to change. Together they outline practical steps and a flexible plan to start addressing goals. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that began in childhood and how those patterns show up now.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Education in Family and Human Services from the University of Oregon and a Master of Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh. She completed additional coursework and a mental health certification during her MSW training and has worked in mobile crisis intervention and community settings.
Kelly uses talk-based approaches that look at relationships, meaning, and behavior. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape expectations. She uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on what matters most to the person.
Practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative work are used to name unhelpful patterns and to try different ways of responding. Motivational interviewing techniques support change when people feel stuck or unsure about next steps. The emphasis is on clear, usable strategies rather than labels or jargon.
Approaches used in online sessions
Kelly commonly integrates attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence expectations and responses in adult life; it helps people understand why certain interactions feel difficult. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete alternatives to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also draws on client-centered principles to keep the session focused on the client's priorities and on motivational interviewing when someone feels unsure about change. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then choose methods to try together.

Online work can make it easier to schedule consistent meetings and to try therapeutic tools between sessions without major disruption to daily routines.
