Kelly Schettini, LPC

Kelly Schettini is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 16 years of experience. She focuses on practical strategies to ease stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles. Kelly helps people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, career questions, and major life changes. She also supports concerns tied to adoption and foster care, domestic violence, fertility issues, and women’s issues.

Kelly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She blends that with client-centered listening so people feel heard and understood as they set goals. Mindfulness techniques are used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.

Sessions often feel goal-oriented and practical. Kelly uses solution-focused strategies to break big problems into manageable steps. Conversations emphasize doable actions and tools people can try between meetings.

Her background includes clinical mental health and school counseling, which shapes a flexible approach. She aims to meet clients where they are while also offering gentle challenges to reach goals. Kelly sees the first step of seeking help as a strength and works to create an honest, trusting space.

Video sessions are available, and she can also consult by phone, live chat, or text messaging according to client preference. The focus is on finding simple, effective ways to move forward.

Using CBT and Client-Centered Care Online

Kelly combines cognitive behavioral therapy with client-centered listening to help people tackle specific problems. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety or low mood and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Client-centered therapy provides empathic listening and reflection so clients feel understood while deciding what matters most to them.

She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice stress responses and calm reactivity. These brief exercises can be practiced between sessions to build awareness and steady attention during difficult moments. Kelly treats choosing an approach as a team effort and will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing coaching and quick reflections. These formats make it simpler to fit sessions into busy schedules, try tools in real time, and keep momentum between appointments.
