About Kelli

Kelli Johnson is a licensed professional counselor who practices in Wyoming. She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people who are facing depression, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. Kelli centers her work on collaboration, seeing clients as the experts in their own lives while offering practical tools and guidance.

Her approach blends Mindfulness Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas. She uses breath work and mindfulness exercises to help people ground themselves. She also incorporates narrative techniques and reading recommendations for clients who find meaning through stories.

Kelli draws on training as a yoga teacher to include somatic, body-based practices when helpful. Those techniques aim to calm physical stress responses and reconnect people with the felt sense of their bodies. She frames these methods simply and practices them alongside talking and reflection.

Sessions focus on building a strong working relationship based on respect, empathy, and authenticity. Kelli aims to help people notice strengths, soothe difficult emotions, and take small steps toward goals. Her style is warm and down-to-earth with an emphasis on practical skills that fit everyday life.

People who choose to work with her can expect a thoughtful mix of talk, mindfulness, and body-based exercises. The emphasis is on pacing the work to each person’s needs and helping them move forward with more intention and self-compassion.

Mindfulness, ACT, and attachment ideas in online care

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention and breathing practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood by teaching techniques that calm the body and steady the mind.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It blends action planning with exercises that change how someone relates to inner experiences.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. Work in this area often helps people understand relationship habits, improve communication, and feel more grounded in close ties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Over a few sessions, methods may be combined or adjusted to match how a person responds.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins that match a person’s schedule. It also lets clients practice mindfulness or breath work in their regular surroundings and bring questions about daily life directly into sessions.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
