About Kelsey
Kelsey Tovar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She uses practical, focused sessions to help people identify their strengths and move toward clearer goals.
Her voice is warm and collaborative, aiming to make each meeting feel useful and respectful of where someone is right now. Kelsey draws on Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories that shape their daily life.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice what matters most and take small, values-based steps. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused approaches guide shorter-term work and specific behavior changes. Clients can expect a straightforward style that centers their experience.
Sessions often focus on identifying what already works, spotting unhelpful patterns, and trying small experiments between meetings. Kelsey emphasizes resilience and practical tools rather than long, abstract explanations. She has four years of clinical experience as an LPC in Texas.
That background includes supporting people with a range of concerns such as obsessive thoughts or compulsions, mood disorders, eating and body image issues, chronic illness or pain, and post-traumatic stress. Kelsey also addresses process addictions and communication problems. Therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits their needs.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Kelsey directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and action-focused methods work online
Many clients benefit from Narrative Therapy because it looks at the stories people tell about themselves. Sessions help identify limiting narratives and create alternative stories that make room for change. This approach can be useful for relationship strains, low self-esteem, and life transitions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is another method Kelsey uses to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing chronic health problems. Motivational Interviewing supports focused behavior change by clarifying motivation and reducing ambivalence about difficult choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelsey will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as needed, blending narrative work, ACT, and motivational techniques when that fits the client’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quicker check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
