Kellie Kiernan , LPCC

Kellie Kiernan is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) and a registered art therapist (AT-R) practicing in Ohio, with 15 years of experience supporting adults ages 18 and older. She offers therapy focused on practical coping skills, emotion exploration, and creative expression grounded in both counseling and art therapy training. Kellie works with clients by appointment using chat messaging sessions only and does not provide video or phone call sessions. She also only treats residents of Ohio - clients must be physically in and live in Ohio to receive counseling from her.

Kellie’s areas of focus include anxiety, anger management, emotion regulation, depression (excluding severe treatment-resistant depression or anxiety), stress management and mindfulness, trauma, grief and bereavement, self-esteem and confidence, assertive communication, healthy boundary development, and social anxiety. Her practice prioritizes clear assessment in the first session, which serves as an initial consultation to identify the concerns that bring a person to therapy and to determine whether her expertise is a good match for those needs.

Her hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Messages sent outside of a scheduled appointment will typically be answered within 24 to 48 hours. Clients are asked to participate from a quiet, interruption-free location so they can fully engage in the work. If a client is more than seven minutes late to a session, the session is canceled and can be rescheduled at the client’s convenience. Kellie does not provide clinical notes, legal documents, FMLA or disability forms, DSM-5 diagnoses, letters, or other documentation for any reason. Driving or traveling while in session is not permitted for safety reasons.

Kellie does not treat certain conditions and concerns, including severe treatment-resistant depression or anxiety, bipolar disorders, physical health conditions, somatic symptom disorder, illness anxiety disorder, ADHD, OCD, substance use disorders, autism spectrum disorders, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy or parenting issues, borderline and narcissistic personality disorders, eating disorders, phobias, schizophrenia or psychosis, fetishes, sexual disorders, or gender dysphoria. When an issue falls outside her scope, she encourages seeking providers who list those specialties in their profiles.
