About Kellye
Kellye Laughery is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 20 years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and family concerns, and cope with life changes. Her work also addresses parenting, career transitions, grief, and intimacy-related issues.
She prefers straightforward, practical conversations that identify patterns coming from family of origin and current relationships. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps people can try between meetings. Kellye uses ideas from attachment work, cognitive behavioral approaches, and emotionally-focused methods to name patterns and shift responses.
Her background includes long experience supporting people through separation and divorce, blended family challenges, and midlife reassessment. She also has experience with veteran and armed forces issues and with clients coping after natural or human-caused disasters. That history informs how she helps clients plan next steps and manage stress.
Kellye draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on the client’s priorities. She may introduce CBT techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Emotionally-focused and attachment-based strategies are used when relational patterns and closeness are central concerns.
People who come to her often want practical tools and clearer relationships with themselves and others. She asks about family of origin influences when those patterns seem to repeat. Start-up steps include a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session to clarify goals and a working plan.
How her clinical approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections. It helps people notice common responses to closeness and change and supports new, more effective ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client’s priorities and pace. It emphasizes listening, reflection, and helping people clarify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors for clearer results.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kellye will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She collaborates with clients to choose strategies and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people join sessions without travel. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment, client-centered, and CBT techniques for remote sessions so the focus stays on identifying patterns and trying new steps.
