About Anna

Anna Lehew Kelley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on relationship and individual concerns. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters and try practical ways forward.

With a master of social work from the University of Pittsburgh, she brings 12 years of practice experience in West Virginia. She helps people identify patterns that get in the way and learn skills to manage strong emotions and difficult situations. Her background includes work with PTSD, addiction, and behavioral concerns.

In sessions she uses collaborative, skills-focused methods. She helps clients notice thoughts and behaviors that cause upset, then practices new ways of responding. She also supports people navigating separation, infidelity, and family problems by teaching communication and conflict skills.

Therapy may include strategies from attachment-based approaches, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior tools, and EMDR when appropriate. She places emphasis on practical skill building and on finding solutions that fit each person's life.

People who want a compassionate, down-to-earth therapist who values teamwork may find her style helpful. Before scheduling, confirm the session formats offered to make sure they fit scheduling and day-to-day needs.

Approaches used for online therapy and how they help

Attachment-based work focuses on how connections with others shape feelings and behavior. It helps people understand closeness, trust, and reactivity in relationships and practice different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by processing troubling experiences in a structured way.When you start, the therapist will talk with you about what feels most important. Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together based on your goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and can combine methods to match your needs.Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It may save travel time, help schedule appointments around work or caregiving, and allow check-ins from different locations.
