Kelly Conlon , LPC

Kelly Conlon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 8 years of experience in mental health care. She combines clinical training and real-world experience to support individuals, couples, and families facing a wide range of concerns, including life transitions, eating disorders and body image struggles, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive patterns, depression, relationship or marital difficulties, complex family dynamics, and the needs of people who identify as highly sensitive.

Kelly earned her undergraduate degree in Childhood and Family Development from the University of Georgia and completed a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy at Pepperdine University. During graduate training she worked with college students, families affected by Alzheimer’s disease, and provided spiritual counseling. Since returning to Georgia she has practiced in diverse treatment settings such as mental health hospitals, residential and outpatient eating disorder programs, outpatient substance-abuse treatment centers, and private practice, bringing experience with clients across the lifespan.

Her approach is warm, respectful, and client-centered, drawing from a variety of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person’s needs and personality. She aims to create a supportive space where vulnerability is met with compassion, practical guidance, and occasional humor to help clients build confidence and move toward a more fulfilling life. Outside of work she enjoys cooking, hiking and other outdoor activities, reading, traveling, and spending time with family, friends, and her fur-children.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Kelly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside a client-centered orientation to help clients work through emotional and relational challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps individuals clarify their values and develop practical strategies for accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding early relational patterns and how they influence current relationships, which can support work on intimacy, family dynamics, and attachment issues. The client-centered approach emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration so therapy can be tailored to each person’s strengths and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kelly works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity across schedules and locations, and access licensed professionals and therapists in a way that supports consistent progress and participation.
