Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Mount Laurel, NJ

Welcome to my page! I am a passionate licensed clinical social worker looking to support millennials through the challenges they face. As a millennial myself, I understand the unique experiences and pressures this generation encounters, such as navigating life changes, managing anxiety, and battling the prevalent tendency to people please. I provide practical tools and psychological strategies to help millennials break free from this harmful pattern, empowering them to prioritize their own well-being and establish healthier boundaries.

Nothing is more important than the way you feel. Often we can recognize things in our lives we would like to be different, but feel at a loss as to how to get started. I understand that sometimes help is needed to navigate life's challenges. Even the most capable person will confront issues that may seem too daunting to deal with alone. I take my client's effort to change very seriously. Sometimes, therapy can seem scary, uncomfortable, strange, or even stigmatizing. I strongly believe it takes courage and character to seek help and make a change.

Are there times in your life when you find yourself reaching for a life goal and just can't seem to get there? You know something is in the way, but you just can't put your finger on what it is.

Hello, my name is Jeannie Kelly and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) My focus in counseling is to build a cohesive relationship with my clients and provide a safe space to grow. My unique set of counseling and coaching skills helps my clients to feel secure, valued and empowered. My therapeutic approach allows my clients to gain a more hopeful perspective as we move through presenting issues together, building strategies and coping skills for the future.

Typically, a person who comes to me for help is someone whose strategies for living their life have failed and are facing depression, anxiety and are not managing their lives and emotions well. They come for support, problem solving and to find new ways of thinking through their circumstances.

I strive to provide a safe space to work through emotions and find effective ways to manage them. I help people process the ways that our past experiences and current reactions affect the decisions that we make in order to promote healthy change and understanding of ourselves and our patterns. Oftentimes, we are not aware of the underlying things that influence our gut reactions which can create a barrier to us meeting the goals we set for ourselves. Counseling is a way to help you understand yourself better and to break down those barriers that stop you from moving forward.
