Kelly Gulat , LPC

Kelly Gulat (pronounced 'goo-lot') is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience providing therapeutic care. She approaches each person as a whole, attending to the many life areas that shape wellbeing. Kelly draws on evidence-informed methods to support people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, as well as relationship and family challenges, identity and gender questions, parenting and intimacy concerns, sleep difficulties, and worries about work and career.

Kelly also works with people facing chronic health issues, caregiving strain, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and a range of attachment, abandonment, and codependency concerns. Her practice emphasizes growth in self-esteem, communication, boundary-setting, motivation, and confidence while navigating life transitions and complicated emotions. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental environment where feelings and thoughts can be explored openly.

Taking that first step toward therapy is often difficult, and Kelly honors the courage it takes to begin. She partners with clients to clarify goals, build practical skills, and uncover strengths so they can move toward a more fulfilling life path.

Practical Therapies for Online Support and Growth

Kelly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to meet a range of needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and collaboration, helping people explore values, identity, and life direction while building self-acceptance. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption. DBT offers skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and coping with change.

Selecting the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly works with each person to clarify goals, preferences, and challenges, then tailors interventions and pacing so the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with Kelly is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow therapy to fit into busy schedules, support those who prefer remote connection, and make it easier to continue care through life transitions and changing routines.
