Kelsey Phillips , LMSW

Kelsey Phillips is a licensed therapist practicing in Michigan with six years of professional experience supporting people through a range of challenges. She has worked with individuals navigating stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, processing trauma and abuse, and managing mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and depression.

Kelsey approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, holding the belief that each person is the expert on their own life and already carries resources that can be used to move through difficult periods. She emphasizes collaboration, helping clients clarify what matters most to them and identifying practical steps that support growth and well-being.

Kelsey holds an LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker, and applies evidence-based approaches to tailor support to each person’s needs. Her practice focuses on meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them as they work toward clearer goals and healthier ways of coping.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Accessible Online Care

Kelsey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying patterns that contribute to stress and emotional pain and then developing practical strategies to change those patterns. One common focus is on exploring how thoughts and behaviors interact so clients can learn new ways to respond to anxiety and mood symptoms. Another strand of her work emphasizes skill building for managing cravings, impulsivity, and distress, helping people develop steady coping tools for addictions, trauma reactions, and everyday stressors.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Kelsey works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques best fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Kelsey is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support, maintain continuity of care, and fit sessions into the demands of daily life.
