About Anna
Anna Lehew Kelley offers calm, direct support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, grief, addiction, relationship strain, or trauma. She meets each person without judgment and focuses on practical steps to feel steadier. Anna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and she draws on twelve years of clinical experience in West Virginia and nearby states.
She uses a collaborative style. Sessions begin with listening to what feels most urgent. Then she helps identify patterns and small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Goals are set together so therapy stays relevant and doable. Anna blends several evidence-informed approaches to match each person's needs. That can mean using cognitive strategies to shift unhelpful thinking, attachment-focused work to improve closeness and trust, or structured skills practice to manage strong emotions.
She also has experience using EMDR for trauma processing when appropriate. Practical skills are emphasized alongside deeper work. People learn ways to cope in the moment and habits that reduce stress over time.
She also supports those dealing with life transitions like separation, career change, or recovery from substance use. Sessions can include short-term focused work or longer exploration depending on what a person wants. Anna aims to create straightforward, usable plans so progress feels clear and measurable.

Online support
How online work and therapeutic approaches blend
Attachment-based work focuses on improving trust and connection in relationships by looking at how past bonds shape current reactions. It helps people who want deeper understanding of how they relate to others and want calmer interactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants concrete tools to feel better day to day. EMDR involves structured processing for memories tied to traumatic events and can reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions when that approach fits the person's goals.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to what matters most, discusses possible methods, and adjusts the plan as progress is seen. Goals, pacing, and techniques are decided together so therapy matches each person's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face conversation when helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging give ongoing access to support and brief skill practice between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping treatment focused on real-life changes.
