Darcie Kelly

Darcie Kelly is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience in mental health. She practices from Montana and brings a practical, direct style to therapy. Darcie aims to meet people where they are and help them move forward at a pace that feels right.

She focuses on common and painful struggles such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, eating and body-image concerns, and stress that gets in the way of daily life. She also supports people dealing with intimacy-related issues, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. Additional interests include work with dissociation, abandonment, sexual assault and abuse, and nontraditional relationship structures such as polyamory and BDSM or kink-related issues.

Her work draws on several approaches to match a person’s needs. Mindfulness Therapy helps bring attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports identifying values and taking small steps toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Clients can expect a warm, relaxed presence in sessions. Darcie uses straightforward conversations and practical behavior-change strategies. She combines an understanding of brain science with person-focused care to build skills and reduce distress.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Darcie uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts, sensations, and emotions without getting swept away. That approach can reduce reactivity and make daily stressors feel more manageable. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps even when hard feelings are present. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at past relationships and patterns to support safer, more satisfying connections in current life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferred pace. That may mean combining mindfulness practice, ACT exercises, and practical behavior-change techniques over time.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for you and how sessions can fit into everyday life.
