    About Kelly

    Kelly Clyde is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and low self-esteem. Kelly also supports those coping with life transitions, grief, addiction, sleep problems, parenting strain, and career uncertainty.

    Kelly draws on straightforward, goal-focused methods to help people make workable changes. She uses Motivational Interviewing to build motivation and readiness for change. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness strategies to teach skills for managing strong emotions.

    Sessions are conversational and practical. Kelly aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through feelings and try new approaches. She often breaks concerns into clear steps and helps people practice small changes between sessions.

    Kelly has five years of clinical experience as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York. Her background includes supporting people with issues such as attachment and abandonment worries, body image and eating concerns, caregiver stress, forgiveness and guilt, and substance use struggles.

    People who want a collaborative, skills-based approach may find her style a good fit. She encourages honest feedback and adjusts work to match each person’s goals and pace. To start, she asks people to clarify what matters most to them and then builds a practical plan together.

  2. Approaches that guide remote work and goals

    Kelly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find and strengthen their reasons for change; this approach focuses on listening, asking guiding questions, and building small steps toward goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, with practical exercises to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kelly works together with each person to decide what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan as progress and challenges emerge.

    Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break or evening. Online work makes it easier to practice skills in real life and bring those experiences back to the session for discussion.
