About Kelly
Kelly Sheets is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing from Tennessee. She brings eight years of experience and offers a conversational, down-to-earth style that helps people talk through difficult feelings. Her work draws on Jungian therapy alongside several practical approaches to address personal struggles.
Sheets focuses on concerns such as addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and stress. She also helps with relationship and family issues, self-esteem, anger, eating concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Additional attention is given to attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, dissociation, domestic violence, and substance-related problems. Her background includes substantial time in residential alcohol and drug treatment settings, where she worked with co-occurring disorders that often feed into addiction. That experience shaped an interest in addressing intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and the personality patterns that can keep people stuck.
Sheets trained at East Tennessee State University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Clinical Psychology and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Her academic work has included university-based research, with a particular interest in combat-related PTSD. In sessions she blends Jungian ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered methods as appropriate.
She aims to help people find clearer meaning, learn skills for everyday life, and test new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Online support
Depth work and practical tools delivered online
Jungian therapy explores personal meaning, symbols, and life themes to help people understand deeper patterns and make sense of recurring struggles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying values and taking committed action while learning to relate differently to painful thoughts and feelings. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s own goals guide the work.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals, concerns, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. Over time the plan can shift based on what helps most, blending depth-oriented reflection with concrete skills when needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers quick back-and-forth for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use the mix of depth work and practical skills that best matches a person’s needs.
