More about Keeli
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- LMSW
I am a clinical social worker with 5 years of counseling experience with a graduate level degree, and 5 years of mental health experience with an undergraduate degree in social work. My career has primarily focused on working with individuals with severe and persistent mental illness in the inpatient and outpatient setting. Most recently I have been working with a comprehensive DBT program, and learning and implementing these skills even within my own life have been life changing. I primarily work with adults, and am looking forward to working with adults who would like to work through and process many of the daily struggles that comes with adult life, career change, relationships, motivation, fears, and self-esteem. I also have experience working with combat veterans, and have taken course work at Michigan State University related to combat veteran social work practice. I have some experience working with the LGBT community, and consider myself an ally to the community.
My counseling style is individualized to each person, and I am warm and goal directed. I value open conversation, compassion, empathy, and validation. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I prefer a relational approach to therapy, while also maintaining professional boundaries. I have seen the benefits of therapy first hand, and am looking forward to helping others along their journey to a more joyful and fulfilling life.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
