Kelly Conlon , LPC

Kelly Conlon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who brings a compassionate, practical approach to mental health care. With experience across a range of clinical settings, she combines formal training in Clinical Psychology and Marriage and Family Therapy with hands-on work in hospitals, eating disorder treatment centers, substance abuse programs, and private practice. Kelly completed an undergraduate degree in Childhood and Family Development at the University of Georgia and earned a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University.

During graduate school she worked with diverse populations including college students, people living with Alzheimer’s and their families, and individuals seeking spiritual counseling. After returning to Georgia she broadened her experience treating clients of many ages and presenting concerns, which informs her flexible use of therapeutic methods. She creates a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental setting focused on respect and compassion, believing that vulnerability is difficult and deserving of thoughtful care.

Kelly works with individuals, couples, and families on issues such as life transitions, eating disorders and body image, self-esteem, anxiety and OCD, depression, relationship or marital difficulties, family dynamics, and high sensitivity. She draws from multiple modalities and centers her practice on a client-centered philosophy that tailors interventions to each person’s needs and personality. Known for blending empathy with encouragement and a touch of humor, she supports clients as they build confidence and pursue meaningful change. Outside of work she enjoys cooking, exploring the outdoors, hiking, travel, reading, and spending time with family, friends, and her fur-children.

Approaches and Remote Support for Meaningful Change

Kelly Conlon draws from several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then take actions that align with their values - useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current connections, which can help with intimacy, family dynamics, and adoption or foster care concerns. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes an empathic, non-judgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s pace and perspective, supporting self-esteem, emotional processing, and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly works with clients to identify which methods best match their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, and she adapts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and easier access to regular care. These options let clients meet with licensed professionals from home, balance sessions with busy schedules, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, making therapy more manageable during transitions and everyday life.
