About Kelly

Kelly Wooldridge centers her work in Internal Family Systems alongside complementary approaches to help clients understand and integrate the parts of themselves that influence feelings and behavior.

Background and approach

With 30 years as an LCSW she draws on a mix of evidence-based practices to address stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and family concerns, shaping treatment to each client's situation and goals. Kelly has a long history of supporting people through family-related difficulties including adoption and foster care issues, attachment struggles, blended family dynamics, and divorce or separation.

She also helps clients managing anger, substance-related concerns, body image and communication or control challenges. Her practice emphasizes practical coping skills, healing from past wounds, and improving relationships through clear, collaborative planning.

Based in Nevada and licensed as an LCSW (NV LCSW 01851-C), Kelly offers a respectful, strengths-focused style that invites exploration while fostering resilience. She frames therapy as a partnership, helping clients take courageous first steps toward more satisfying and functional lives.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care



Internal Family Systems helps people identify and relate to different inner parts that influence emotions and behavior, making it useful for healing trauma, reducing self-criticism, and improving emotional balance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-driven action and mindfulness skills to manage difficult thoughts and feelings while guiding clients toward meaningful life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and early bonds to improve connection, communication, and stability within families and close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kelly works collaboratively to determine which methods fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She combines approaches as appropriate and reviews progress together so treatment remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy with Kelly uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible and flexible for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to engage in consistent work from locations that suit them while still receiving structured, licensed professional support focused on coping skills, family dynamics, and emotional healing.
