Kelsey Richards

Whether you are a teen finding your footing or an adult feeling stretched thin, you deserve a place to be heard. I'm Kelsey, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) offering telehealth to people ages 10 and older across Pennsylvania. I have worked in school-based counseling and outpatient therapy with children, adolescents, and adults, and I help with anxiety, ADHD, mild depression, and stress management. My style is warm and direct, and we will focus on what matters most to you. I would be glad to meet you.

I draw mainly on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing, with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), emotion focused therapy (EFT), and problem-solving therapy (PST) when they fit. Together we will spot the patterns that keep you stuck, build practical coping strategies, and work toward the changes you want. I aim for a supportive, collaborative space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered, and where your feedback shapes how we work.

During our first session, my goal is to create a comfortable welcoming environment, where you feel heard, understood, and supported. I want to take the time to get to know you, understand what brings you to therapy, and learn what you hope to gain from our time together. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process, built on open communication, active listening, and mutual feedback. I will take time to explain my therapeutic approach, discuss what you can expect from working together, and encourage you to share what is and isn’t working for you. Most importantly, I want you to know that this is your time. Whether you come to session with something specific you want to work through or simply need space to talk, I want our time together to reflect your needs and what feels most important to you that day.
