About Kelly
Kelly Brock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. She draws on ten years of practice to listen, ask useful questions, and build realistic next steps. Her approach is personal and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel more capable and steady in daily life.
In an initial meeting she focuses on understanding what is happening now and where the person wants to go.
Background and approach
She asks about strengths, routines, and relationships, then works with the client to set flexible goals. Sessions tend to be practical and collaborative, with attention to what the client can try between meetings. Brock uses a mix of Narrative Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
Those methods shape how she listens and responds rather than promising a single fixed plan. She helps people tell their stories, notice patterns, and test new behaviors in small steps.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Education in Family and Human Services from the University of Oregon and a Master of Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh, along with additional mental health coursework and a mental health certification. She holds LCSW and LISW credentials in Pennsylvania and Iowa.
Sessions are aimed at people who want clear guidance and practical tools for coping. Feedback and change are worked on together, at a pace the person can manage. Prospective clients are asked to use the platform process to begin matching and scheduling.

How Narrative and Attachment Approaches Work Online
Kelly often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from painful stories they repeat. This approach helps name patterns and try small changes to the story people tell about their lives, which can reduce feeling stuck.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. That perspective helps people understand why they respond a certain way in relationships and practice different responses that feel safer over time.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan together as progress unfolds. Sessions are shaped by the client's preferences and what seems most helpful in real life.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It also lets people meet with a licensed professional from their own region while keeping the focus on practical tools and meaningful changes.
