Kelsey Poole, LPC

Kelsey Poole is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career struggles, depression, and the challenges that come with life changes. Kelsey aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for each person who reaches out.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then tailors conversations and a plan to fit each person's situation. Sessions focus on practical steps that can be used between meetings, not just talk during the hour.

Kelsey also helps with relationship-related concerns such as attachment issues, jealousy, communication problems, and codependency. She addresses emotional topics like guilt, shame, emptiness, and grief from losses or disasters. Her work often covers impulse control, panic attacks, and feeling isolated or stuck.

She uses a mix of approaches that match the client's needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered methods. These approaches guide how she structures sessions and practices, while staying adaptable to the individual.

New clients are invited to take the first step at their own pace. Kelsey emphasizes small, manageable goals and practical coping skills to help people move forward through difficult moments.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and finding a clearer life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often applied to anxiety, panic symptoms, and low mood.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review the person’s goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. Together they try methods, track what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits the client’s life and progress.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and avoid travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or let someone continue work while using strategies at home. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to an online setting, using practical exercises, worksheets, and in-session coaching to build skills that carry into everyday life.
