About Kelly
Kelly Brock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She practices in Pennsylvania and draws on practical tools to help clients feel steadier. Her approach is straightforward and focused on helping people take manageable steps forward.
Brock begins by listening and asking clear questions about what is happening now and where the client wants to be. She and the client then set a flexible plan with small goals to work toward. Sessions focus on learning about patterns, trying new skills, and checking what works in daily life.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh and a Bachelor of Education in Family and Human Services from the University of Oregon. She also completed advanced mental health coursework and a mental health certification during her training.
In sessions she blends several ways of working, including attachment-based thinking, cognitive behavioral ideas, client-centered conversations, and narrative approaches. She aims to help people understand how past relationships and current thoughts shape behavior. Conversations are practical and paced to each person’s needs.
Brock has experience with addiction, trauma and complex PTSD, mental and sexual abuse, homelessness, and re-entry after incarceration. She welcomes men seeking support for men's wellbeing and helps them explore values, coping strategies, and next steps.
To get started she asks people to describe their goals and current challenges so a plan can be made together. She keeps work straightforward and aimed at progress that fits real life.
How these approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape present reactions and connection patterns. Online sessions using this view help people notice attachment habits and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person leads the pace and topics. In remote conversations this approach supports honest self-expression and steady progress toward personal goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Online CBT sessions often include simple homework and skill practice to test changes between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then shape a collaborative plan. That plan can blend methods and change over time based on what helps most.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find it helpful for keeping momentum while using tools at home or during breaks from work. Licensed professionals can adapt pacing and tasks to fit everyday routines.
