About Kelly
Kelly Gadbury is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, bipolar disorder, depression, and the challenges that come with major life changes. Kelly aims to listen without judgment and to provide steady support as people take steps toward feeling better.
Her approach begins by learning what matters most to each person. She adapts conversations and care to match individual needs rather than using the same plan for everyone. Sessions often involve practical skills for coping, clearer problem solving, and simple tools to lower daily stress.
Kelly draws on a mix of counseling styles, including client-centered work that prioritizes the person's perspective, cognitive behavioral strategies for shifting unhelpful thoughts, and motivational interviewing to support change. She also incorporates mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help people find small, realistic steps forward.
Across ten years of practice she has helped people facing both short-term crises and longer-term conditions. Her work includes concerns related to family of origin, communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and relationship difficulties like commitment or separation. Kelly describes her role as a steady partner who helps clients set manageable goals and try new ways of coping.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her practice in Texas. Prospective clients should use the site's Start Therapy flow to match with her and schedule a first appointment.

How Kelly’s approaches translate to online care
Kelly integrates cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and client-centered work into her sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood instability. Motivational interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change and build momentum toward practical goals. Client-centered therapy makes the client's perspective the starting point, so sessions follow the person’s priorities and pace.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Kelly collaborates with each person to identify which approach fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adjust plans as progress is made and as goals evolve, keeping the work focused on manageable steps and real-life problems.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these benefits to help people maintain consistency and apply new skills between appointments. -
