About Kelli
Kelli Bouscher is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with nine years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.
Kelli emphasizes practical strategies that people can use between sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test them in everyday life. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.
Attachment-Based and client-centered ideas shape how she approaches relationships and connection. That means conversations often focus on patterns in relationships, how early experiences affect current bonds, and ways to change interaction patterns. Gottman Method ideas are used when addressing couples concerns and communication problems.
Kelli has considerable experience helping people who face addiction and trauma-related struggles. She combines evidence-informed approaches to reduce harmful behaviors and to build more reliable coping strategies. Work in sessions often includes skill practice, behavioral experiments, and focused communication exercises.
Her style is direct and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals, small experiments to try between meetings, and reviewing what helped or didn’t help. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online therapy options.
How her approaches translate to online work
She often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and test thoughts that fuel anxiety or avoidance. CBT sessions focus on identifying patterns, planning small behavioral experiments, and reviewing results to build realistic coping steps.She also draws on attachment-based work and client-centered principles to address relationship patterns and interactions. Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationship experiences shape current reactions, while client-centered work keeps the session focused on the person’s concerns and pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can use a break at work or an evening slot more easily. These practical benefits help sessions become a usable part of everyday life without promising particular outcomes.
