About Kelly

Kelly Bennett is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. She uses Narrative Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive approaches to help people tell their story and find practical ways forward. Bennett listens for the patterns that shape how someone sees themselves.

She helps people notice recurring stories and then test new, healthier ways to respond. Sessions are conversational and grounded in the person’s real concerns rather than jargon or lectures.

Background and approach

Her work addresses stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career worries, and substance concerns. She also supports people dealing with fertility-related stress, mood disorders, obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, postpartum depression, trauma reactions, seasonal mood shifts, and social anxiety.

With three years of clinical experience as an LMHC, she blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral tools and brief, solution-focused strategies. That means practical skills like behavior experiments, thought tracking, and small goal-setting show up alongside open listening and meaning-making. People who come to her can expect clear, manageable steps between sessions.

She helps create plans to cope with immediate problems and build toward longer-term change. Scheduling and formats are flexible to match different life demands.

Narrative and Practical Approaches for Online Care

Kelly uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their problems, then experiment with alternative narratives that reduce distress and open up new options. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in active listening, empathy, and the person’s own goals.

She pairs those approaches with Cognitive Behavioral techniques when helpful, such as tracking thoughts, testing beliefs with small experiments, and building step-by-step coping skills. Those methods are useful for anxiety, mood shifts, obsessive thoughts, and managing day-to-day stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kelly collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the mix of narrative meaning-making, client-centered listening, and cognitive tools as the work progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits brief check-ins, and text messaging allows quick updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and other responsibilities while keeping continuity of care.
