About Kelsey
Kelsey Devries is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker with nine years of experience. She lists stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, depression, and compassion fatigue among her focus areas. Kelsey also notes additional interests such as attachment and abandonment issues, blended family concerns, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, substance-related issues, and feelings of emptiness.
Her approach centers on working directly with what a person brings to sessions. She commonly uses client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people learn practical strategies. Sessions tend to include skill practice, structured problem solving, and conversations about what the client wants to accomplish.
Kelsey’s work includes addressing addiction and trauma-related concerns alongside everyday stressors. She describes helping people with communication and relationship patterns, commitment and control issues, and situations that follow divorce or separation. She also works with people facing grief, parenting strain, or caregiver burnout.
During sessions she focuses on concrete steps and coping tools rather than abstract theories. Clients can expect short-term skill development as well as options for longer-term work when needed. The treatment plan is guided by the client’s goals and what they want to change.
She practices in Michigan and offers services in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options through the platform's matching and scheduling flow.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspectives, with the therapist asking questions and reflecting so the client can direct the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kelsey will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration may mean trying a few things and adjusting over time based on what helps most.
The original biography does not list explicit session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins around work breaks, avoiding travel time, and using video or phone when a quieter setting or less bandwidth is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to the online setting, including guided mindfulness practice, skills coaching, and structured problem solving aimed at everyday challenges.
