About Kelly
Kelly Clyde is a licensed mental health counselor in New York. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, and life changes. She also supports those facing addictions, grief, parenting strain, career stress, and intimacy-related issues.
Kelly keeps sessions straightforward and focused. She listens without judgment and helps people name the problems that feel biggest right now. Together they set small, practical goals and try steps that can bring relief between sessions.
Background and approach
Her approach blends evidence-based tools and real-world coaching. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing. That mix lets her address unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and increase motivation for change.
Clients can expect a calm, collaborative space to talk through difficult feelings. Kelly pays attention to patterns like attachment, communication, and control issues, and she works with people on topics such as body image, fertility stress, caregiving strain, substance concerns, and forgiveness. With five years of practice, Kelly draws on direct experience rather than jargon.
She aims to make therapy feel manageable so people can take steady steps toward clearer thinking, better coping, and more satisfying connections.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Kelly often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep them stuck; it is useful for anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems. She also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication when relationships feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to try based on current needs, goals, and personal preferences. Sessions may shift over time as different skills are practiced and progress is reviewed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging formats support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between live meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
