About Kelly
Kelly Bennett is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. Her style is direct and warm, aiming to help each person take realistic steps toward feeling better.
Bennett blends client-centered listening with goal-focused tools. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to change them. Sessions often center on the person’s immediate needs and what can shift in daily life.
Background and approach
She has three years of professional experience working with concerns such as addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, anger, and low self-esteem. Additional focuses include ADHD, mood disorders, OCD-related worries, postpartum depression, and women’s issues. Her background includes supporting people through fertility and family-of-origin questions.
In appointments she uses straightforward methods from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches alongside narrative work that looks at the stories people tell about themselves. Conversations move between listening, problem solving, and practical exercises to try between sessions. People who meet with her can expect a collaborative pace.
Goals are set together and adjusted as needed. The emphasis is on clear steps, coping skills, and rebuilding routines that support daily functioning.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on hearing the person’s concerns and building a trusting working relationship. The therapist listens without judgment and helps clients identify what they need and want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and panic-related problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and daily life. That may mean using listening-based sessions some weeks and skill-building or short experiments other weeks, adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and working through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being off camera feels better. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, homework review, or quick coping reminders between longer sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy routines.
