About Kelly
Kelly L Mattis is an LPCC and an LPC-MH licensed in North Dakota with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and young adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as self-esteem and panic. She also focuses on issues like isolation, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and life transitions.
Kelly uses clear, practical steps in sessions. She helps people name what feels overwhelming and breaks problems into manageable parts. Conversations often include building communication skills, practicing ways to handle panic or anxious moments, and identifying personal patterns that keep problems going.
Her background spans many years in direct clinical work with adults. That experience informs a flexible, evidence-based way of working that adapts to each person’s situation. She draws on methods that support mood regulation, trauma recovery, and improving relationships.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Clients can expect to review progress, try new skills between meetings, and revisit what’s working. The focus is on helping people cope better day to day and on practical steps to reduce distress in social situations and other triggering moments.

How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Kelly draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and symptom reduction. Cognitive-behavioral style work helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try out alternative ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Trauma-focused strategies address reactions to past events and teach grounding and regulation tools to manage distress.Choosing specific methods is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and responses to initial sessions to decide which approaches to emphasize. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find video or phone sessions help maintain continuity of care while they test skills in real-life situations.
