About Kelsey

Kelsey Devries, LMSW, is a licensed master social worker practicing in Michigan with nine years of clinical experience. As an LMSW - a license that reflects completion of a master's degree in social work and professional training to provide therapeutic care - she supports individuals and families navigating stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, and related life challenges. Her work also addresses self-esteem, parenting, intimacy-related issues, anger, depression, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and other complex presentations.

She brings an interactive, warm style to therapy and aims to help people feel comfortable engaging in the process. Treatment is driven by each client's goals, and she integrates client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to build practical skills and strengthen coping. Sessions emphasize collaboration, skill-building, and real-world problem solving.

Starting therapy can feel challenging, and Kelsey focuses on making that first step as positive and approachable as possible. She partners with clients to set realistic goals, develop coping tools, and navigate transitions and healing at a pace that fits each person.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Kelsey Devries

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a collaborative relationship where the client's goals guide treatment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve coping in daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kelsey works collaboratively with clients to explore which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, balance therapy with work or family obligations, and maintain continuity of care through life changes while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor the approach to each person.
