Joly Kettles , LPC

Joly Kettles welcomes people who are feeling hesitant about seeking help and recognizes that taking the first step can be difficult. She aims to work collaboratively with clients to help them find relief and build confidence to face life’s challenges.

Joly has worked in the mental health field for 12 years and has been a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - for the past 9 years. During that time she has supported adolescents, adults, and couples with concerns such as anxiety, depression, domestic violence, relationship struggles, trauma, and grief. She creates a nonjudgmental, comfortable space where clients can access their strengths and begin to shape the life they want.

Her approach centers on the person while integrating cognitive behavioral techniques to address thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of well-being. Joly collaborates with each client to develop an individualized treatment plan that reflects their goals and priorities. She seeks to empower people to manage life’s difficulties in healthier ways and to foster personal growth. Joly looks forward to working with new clients who are ready to begin that process.

Approaches for effective online support

Joly draws from client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic environment where the client’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach emphasizes listening, validation, and supporting each person’s autonomy - it is helpful for building self-esteem, navigating relationships, and coping with life transitions.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, useful for treating anxiety, stress, and symptoms of depression by teaching skills to manage emotions and responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Joly works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts treatment as progress unfolds so the plan remains tailored and relevant.

Online therapy with Joly is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support from home, and integrate therapy into a busy life while working alongside a licensed professional.
