Kelly Reed is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alaska. She has ten years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, parenting pressures, low self esteem, and major life changes. Kelly seeks to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. She adapts conversation and plans to match each person’s needs and goals. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings, and on building confidence and coping skills over time.
Kelly also brings experience supporting people through loss, guilt and shame, forgiveness work, and issues related to pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum depression. She understands seasonal mood shifts such as Seasonal Affective Disorder and offers help around disaster-related stress as well.
She affirms and welcomes LGBTQIA+ people in her practice and works to create a space where clients feel seen and heard. Kelly emphasizes small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. She encourages people to name what matters to them and to move toward it at a manageable pace.
If you want a therapist who focuses on practical coping, confidence-building, and adapting plans to your life, Kelly can help start that process with you.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Kelly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common approach helps people learn specific coping skills to manage anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies that reduce overwhelm. Another approach emphasizes working through grief and painful emotions by naming feelings, creating meaning, and building routines that support recovery. These approaches are hands-on and aim to give people tools they can use between sessions.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Kelly partners with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan if something isn’t helping. This makes therapy more collaborative and focused on what actually improves day-to-day life.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since options are not stated here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people keep continuity of care when life or location changes. Ask about the current session options when you sign up so you can pick what fits your routine best.
