About Kellye

Kellye Laughery is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with two decades of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, family dynamics, life changes, career questions, and depression. Her tone is supportive and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on practical steps people can use right away.

Kellye’s sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. She offers a space where clients can talk through what feels hardest and try new ways of handling problems. She takes a collaborative stance, working with each person to set clear, achievable goals and to track progress over time.

Her background includes extensive work on attachment challenges, blended family issues, communication problems, and separation or divorce. She also addresses concerns such as grief, intimacy-related struggles, self-harm risk, post-traumatic stress, veteran and armed forces issues, and midlife or career transitions. These areas shape how she plans sessions and chooses interventions.

Kellye draws on approaches that include Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Imago Relationship Therapy. She explains techniques plainly and helps people apply them to everyday situations. The goal is clearer relationships, more manageable emotions, and steady forward movement.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to Kellye’s availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and sessions are conducted in English.

How these approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of connection and how early bonds shape current relationships. Online sessions can be used to notice interaction patterns, practice new responses, and bring those changes back into daily life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and acceptance to help people feel understood as they sort out their priorities and feelings. In an online setting this approach supports open conversation and steady reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often uses short exercises and homework that fit well into a weekly online rhythm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose methods and adjust them as progress is made, so the plan evolves with the client’s needs.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate that online therapy can fit into a busy day - it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. It can also let sessions focus on specific skills practice or brief problem-solving between in-person meetings when those are part of someone's routine. Licensed professionals help clients adapt the work to everyday life and responsibilities.
