Kelly Corbine, LICSW, LCSW

Kelly Corbine welcomes people who are worried about anxiety, low mood, or life stress. She helps clients who are working through trauma, issues related to sexual orientation, or concerns about self-worth. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, and she lets people set the pace for their work.

Kelly uses clear, practical strategies to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve day-to-day coping. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also pays attention to attachment patterns and the ways early relationships shape current reactions.

Sessions focus on what matters most to each person. Kelly listens closely, asks reflective questions, and suggests small experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving. She encourages skills practice between sessions so progress can carry into daily life.

Clients often bring concerns about relationships, body image, parenting transitions, or the strain of big life changes. Kelly supports people who are coping with panic, depression, post-traumatic stress, and feelings of isolation or shame. She aims to help clients build self-compassion and clearer communication with others.

With more than three decades of experience, Kelly holds an MA and practices as a LICSW and LCSW in New York. She offers friendly, goal-focused work that balances understanding with practical tools. New clients begin by sharing what they hope to change, and then she and the client shape a plan together.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Kelly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to see what helps, which is useful for anxiety, panic, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from past relationships and how they affect current reactions, helping with relationship struggles and trust. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's own priorities, offering a listening space where people decide the pace and goals of their work.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Kelly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adjusts techniques over time based on what the client finds helpful, so treatment evolves as progress is made.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat fits quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments around work, childcare, or other busy schedules while using the approaches described above.
