About Kylie
Kylie Docksey is an AASW accredited social worker with five years of professional experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and confidence. She also supports those facing relationship and family tensions and life changes.
Kylie uses straightforward conversation to help people clarify what matters to them. She listens and reflects, then helps set small, practical steps that fit into everyday life. Sessions focus on what someone wants to do differently and how to get there one step at a time.
Her practice draws on approaches that help people be more present and flexible with difficult thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness techniques are used to notice unhelpful patterns without getting stuck in them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to link values with concrete actions.
Kylie also uses elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for emotional regulation and Motivational Interviewing when someone wants to increase readiness for change. Client-Centred Therapy principles guide sessions so the person’s priorities set the agenda.
She aims to make sessions direct and practical, with clear options for homework and follow-up. People looking to address panic, social anxiety, grief or ongoing low mood often find this structure helpful. To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kylie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in sessions. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and focus on values-based action rather than getting stuck in worry. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping.She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance when needed. These skills are practical and can be practised between sessions to build confidence in social situations or panic responses.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kylie will discuss what is helpful and adapt methods based on the client’s goals and preferences. She works with the person to pick exercises and coaching steps that fit their life and pace.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit a short appointment into a busy day, avoid travel time, or use phone-only check-ins when less bandwidth is available. The focus is on practical steps and regular check-ins that can slot into everyday routines rather than on a particular platform or tool.
