Kelly James-Fraser, LPC

Kelly James-Fraser is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with ten years of experience. She has provided psychotherapy in a range of settings and helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. Her first goal is to make therapy understandable and calm for people who feel overwhelmed.

She has worked in inpatient settings with people who have chronic and severe mental health challenges. Her background includes crisis work with children, forensic inpatient care, and providing therapy and parole evaluations for the Department of Corrections. She has also practiced in group private practice, seeing children, young adults, veterans, and others.

Kelly uses a person-centered, solution-focused style. She blends approaches and tailors sessions to the issues someone brings. That might mean focusing on practical coping skills one week and relationship or trauma work another week.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and concrete steps. Sessions often involve setting small goals, building coping strategies, and practicing skills between meetings. The work is collaborative and paced to what a person can manage.

Kelly has experience with a wide range of concerns, including stress, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses related topics such as attachment, body image, chronic illness, and communication problems.

Her aim is to help people build clearer patterns and better coping so they can move through difficult periods with more resilience and choice.

How Kelly's Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person feels heard and understood. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and relationship struggles by centering the person's own goals and pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks worries into manageable parts and teaches skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone needs clearer strategies for managing crises.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to choose what fits a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered methods to virtual sessions so people can build skills and practice changes between meetings.
