Amanda Kelly

I bring 18 years of experience in education and mental health to help people who feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, stressed or burned out. I support clients in making sense of their emotions, shifting unhelpful thought patterns, and building practical tools for everyday life.

Alongside the emotional insight work, I also focus on real-world functioning: executive skills like planning, follow-through, goal setting, and creating systems that fit your life. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, or neurodivergence, offering a supportive and nonjudgmental space to build stability.

I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lamar University and am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

I take a direct and supportive approach, working collaboratively with clients to help them make meaningful change. I draw from person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, CBT, and DBT to help clients build insight, skills, and strengthen emotional regulation.

In our first session, I focus on creating a comfortable space where you can talk openly about what’s been going on. I’ll ask questions to understand your experiences and what you want to work on in therapy. Together, we’ll begin identifying clear goals and a direction for treatment. I want you to leave the first session feeling heard, supported, and clear about next steps.
