About Kelly
Kelly Brock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania and a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Iowa with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people who feel stuck, anxious, depressed, grieving, or carrying the effects of trauma and abuse. Kelly also supports concerns around self-esteem and stress. Sessions are conducted in English.
Kelly begins by helping clients name what feels off and by mapping the next practical steps. Early meetings focus on where a person is now and where they want to go. Together they set a flexible plan that fits changing needs and real life obligations.
Her style centers on listening to a person’s story and using that story to make sense of present patterns. Kelly draws on approaches such as attachment-based work and narrative techniques to examine how past relationships shape today's choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when clients want concrete strategies for thoughts, mood, and behavior.
She has experience with a wide range of presenting issues beyond mood and trauma, including addiction, grief, dissociation, and challenges around intimacy and commitment. Kelly has worked in community mobile crisis intervention and with people reentering the community after incarceration, which informs how she handles complex and co-occurring concerns.
Kelly completed a Bachelor of Education, majoring in Family and Human Services, at the University of Oregon and a Master of Social Work at the University of Pittsburgh. The MSW included advanced mental health coursework and a mental health certification. Her background combines clinical social work training with practical field experience.
How Kelly’s clinical approaches translate to online sessions
Kelly commonly draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current expectations and helps people notice patterns in close relationships. Client-centered work prioritizes listening and following the person’s concerns to guide the pace and focus of sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives clear steps for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Kelly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense based on goals, needs, and preferences. That discussion can start in the first meeting and adjust over time as progress and priorities change.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the exact online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Kelly’s clinical methods adapt to remote work by using narrative and attachment conversations alongside practical CBT exercises that can be practiced between meetings.
