Kelly Brock

Kelly Brock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices from Pennsylvania and holds an additional Iowa licensure. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Her approach is practical and patient; she aims to help people understand what is happening and find steps that feel doable.

In early sessions she listens to what is happening now and what someone wants life to look like next. Together she and the client set a flexible plan with small goals to try out. Sessions emphasize clarity and usable tools rather than long lectures.

Kelly brings ten years of experience across community mental health, crisis intervention, and work with people facing homelessness, incarceration, and serious mental health challenges. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh and a Bachelor of Education in Family and Human Services from the University of Oregon, plus additional mental health course work and a mental health certification.

Her clinical approach draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy along with attachment-based and client-centered ideas. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies and motivational interviewing when they fit the client’s needs. The therapy style is collaborative and practical - she helps people try things and notice what works.

People who choose her often want clear steps, a steady listener, and help making sense of difficult experiences. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding how past harm affects present life and on learning skills to manage distressing memories and reactions; it can help people cope with trauma, abuse, and complex symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns shape feelings and behavior, which can be useful for improving trust and connection in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person sets the pace and the therapist follows, helping people feel heard and understood.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. Plans are adjusted as therapy progresses so techniques match what actually helps the person reach their aims.

This profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make scheduling around work or caregiving simpler. Licensed professionals can use the methods above in an online setting by helping clients practice coping skills, process experiences at a thoughtful pace, and track changes between sessions.
