Kelli Stocker, LPC, LMHC

Kelli Stocker is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges from life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, family concerns, and caregiver burnout. With 15 years of experience, she aims to make starting therapy less intimidating and more practical.

Kelli takes a warm, client-centered approach in sessions. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, doable goals. Her style often includes solution-focused techniques to find immediate steps that reduce distress.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions are tailored to fit an individual’s pace and priorities rather than following a fixed script. Kelli emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation.

Her background includes long-term work with adolescents and adults across several states, and she brings that practical experience into session planning. Kelli explains options clearly so clients can choose what feels right.

People who meet with her can expect straightforward talk, focused problem solving, and step-by-step plans to manage symptoms and daily stressors. She encourages small changes that add up over time and supports clients as they try new approaches.

How her approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the person’s lead and helps them name what matters most, which suits worries about stress, self-esteem, and relationship issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors, which can help with anxiety and low mood.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable changes. Sessions often identify immediate next steps so people can see progress between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted over time based on what helps.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about what works best for timing and format so sessions fit everyday routines.
