Jessica Kelley, LMFT

Jessica Kelley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing from Alabama who brings a long history of direct clinical experience to her work. She began working in psychiatric hospital settings at age 18 and continued to develop her clinical skills after graduating from California Baptist University in 2013. Over the years she has provided care in multiple states while transferring with her enlisted-military husband and raising their two children.

Much of her practice has focused on high-crisis situations involving adolescents, young adults, and their families. Her caseload has included trauma, anxiety, depression, psychosis, abuse and neglect, parenting challenges, stress, and relationship conflicts. She also addresses a broad range of concerns such as intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among others.

Her therapeutic stance is supportive, empathetic, warm, goal-oriented, and client-centered. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing alongside elements of Christian and biblical counseling and life coaching techniques, while keeping her style laid-back and genuine. She avoids heavy clinical jargon and focuses on clear, practical feedback, suggestions, and perspectives to help clients make decisions that fit their lives.

Rather than prescribing choices, she works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals and encourage open communication about needs and expectations for therapy. She expresses that she looks forward to hearing from those who are interested in exploring therapy.
