Anna Lehew Kelley, LCSW

Anna Lehew Kelley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in West Virginia with 12 years of clinical experience. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and works in a collaborative, nonjudgmental way. Her focus includes stress and anxiety along with relationship and family concerns, trauma, addiction, grief, and life changes.

Kelley uses clear, practical steps in sessions. She helps people identify unhelpful thinking and learn skills to manage distress. Conversations often center on which patterns cause the most pain and what small changes could make daily life easier.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh. Over a decade of practice has involved supporting adults through PTSD, addiction, depression, and difficult transitions. She uses a mix of approaches to meet each person’s needs.

In sessions she combines talk work with skill-building exercises. That may include exploring attachment dynamics, addressing thinking patterns, or using trauma-focused methods when appropriate. The aim is to create practical, usable tools rather than abstract theory.

Kelley encourages people to take therapy at their own pace. She emphasizes teamwork, asking questions, and testing what helps. This approach keeps goals clear and progress measurable for those coping with stress, anxiety, and related challenges.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections. It can help people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and learn new ways to feel safer with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with daily coping.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences. Together they will choose methods to try and adjust the plan based on what helps most over time.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to continue therapy through life changes while keeping appointments more consistent and manageable.
