Kelly Conlon, LPC

Kelly Conlon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, eating and body image issues, self-esteem, grief, addiction, and parenting strain. Kelly presents a calm, down-to-earth style that aims to make hard conversations feel manageable.

She creates a warm, non-judgmental space where people can talk through what’s worrying them. Sessions are meant to help clients feel more capable and confident. Kelly blends practical skills with straightforward conversation and a bit of humor when it fits.

Kelly earned a bachelor’s degree in Childhood and Family Development from the University of Georgia and a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. Her early work included supporting college students, people with Alzheimer’s, and spiritual counseling while in graduate school.

After returning to Georgia she worked across a range of settings, including mental health hospitals, residential and outpatient eating disorder programs, outpatient substance abuse centers, and independent practice. That varied work informs her approach to complex concerns like co-morbidity, trauma and attachment issues.

Therapeutically she draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Kelly aims to tailor those methods to each person’s needs so they can meet realistic goals and build skills that last.

Approaches that guide online work

Kelly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most to them and take steps toward those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where motivation and direction feel unclear.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to examine patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect present interactions. This approach is often helpful for trust, intimacy, codependency, and family of origin concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kelly will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and style. She adapts tools over time so clients learn skills they can use outside sessions rather than relying on a single technique.

If you are considering online therapy, 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, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use visual tools or worksheets during a session and practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals, including therapists, aim to match approach and format to each person’s needs and daily life.
