Approaches for Online Healing and Practical Support

Anna Lehew Kelley integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR into her work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and helps rebuild safety and trust in close connections, which can be useful for people struggling with relational stress or difficulties forming secure bonds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, supporting recovery from post-traumatic stress and overwhelming events.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Kelley collaborates with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she tailors treatment choices so the approach fits the person rather than forcing a single method. This collaborative process helps clients engage with methods that feel most relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or geographic constraints, and they allow ongoing access to therapeutic support through formats that match a client’s communication style and schedule.
