Kelly Clyde, LMHC

Kelly Clyde is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. Kelly also supports clients facing relationship struggles, parenting strain, grief, and issues related to addiction and intimacy.

Her style is direct and warm. She aims to make sessions a place to speak honestly and be heard without judgment. Kelly focuses on practical steps you can try between meetings while also listening to how life pressures are affecting you right now.

Kelly draws on methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and manage intense emotions. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to build momentum and develop healthier habits.

Clients often bring concerns such as caregiver stress, communication problems, body image, and challenges with commitment or attachment. Kelly works with those facing fertility or family-related stress, first responder issues, and the guilt or shame that can follow loss or life transitions.

She has practiced for five years and describes therapy as a collaborative process. The first sessions focus on understanding your priorities and setting small, achievable goals. From there she and each person plan steps that fit their life and goals.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Kelly commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often involves setting small tasks to try between sessions and tracking how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Dialectical behavior therapy offers tools for managing strong emotions and improving stress tolerance and communication skills, which can help with relationship strain and caregiver burnout.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That might mean focusing on thought patterns one week and emotion regulation or mindfulness practice the next, depending on what is most useful.

Session formats are not specified in the therapist biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions fit into a busy week. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and mindfulness exercises for remote use so people can practice skills between meetings and track progress over time.
