Kellye Laughery, LMFT

Kellye Laughery is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She uses a supportive, solution-focused style to help people handle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. Kellye aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly and begin to make changes.

With about 20 years of clinical work, she combines practical tools with attention to how relationships shape emotions. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, coping skills for anxiety and depression, and steps to rebuild confidence after loss or major change. She also supports people working through parenting challenges and career decisions.

Kellye draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current struggles. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities, and she adds cognitive-behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. These methods are used together to match what each individual needs.

Clients meet a therapist who balances empathy with straightforward, actionable work. Conversations can include skill-building, reframing negative thoughts, and practicing new ways to relate to others. The overall emphasis is practical: notice what’s not working, try a different approach, and track whether it helps.

If you are considering therapy, the usual next step is to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How attachment, client-centered, and CBT approaches work online

Kellye uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and reactions; this can help when trust, closeness, or repeated conflict are concerns. Client-centered work means the conversation follows the person’s priorities and pace, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kellye will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. This collaborative process helps clients see whether a strategy feels useful before committing to it long term.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone continue work after a move or during a life transition while keeping consistent contact with a licensed professional.
