Anna Lehew Kelley

Anna Lehew Kelley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people navigate trauma, anxiety, relationship strain, and life transitions. She uses a calm, nonjudgmental style and works side-by-side with clients to find practical steps forward. She recognizes how hard it can feel to ask for help and treats that decision as a meaningful first step.

She draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches to address distress rooted in difficult experiences and relationship patterns. Therapy sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and teach manageable skills for emotional regulation and coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when they fit the client's needs.

With 12 years of experience and a Master of Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh, she practices in West Virginia as an LCSW. Her background includes work with post-traumatic stress, addiction, and behavioral concerns, and she supports people facing grief, parenting challenges, and questions about life purpose.

She helps people and couples talk through conflict, repair communication, and rebuild closeness when infidelity or separation has occurred. The work often includes practical skill building, setting small goals, and testing new interaction patterns between sessions.

Sessions begin by figuring out immediate concerns and tangible goals. From there she and the client adjust approaches based on what helps most, combining therapy techniques to match real-life needs and preferences.

How trauma-informed and relationship-focused approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process painful memories and reduce their hold on day-to-day life. It often combines careful pacing with exercises that teach new ways to respond to reminders and stressors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape reactions now and supports building safer, more trusting connections with others.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist partners with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, symptoms, and preferences. Treatment is adjusted over time based on what proves most helpful in real sessions rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online therapy can make it easier to keep regular appointments during work or school breaks and to continue care during transitions. Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking to know whether phone or video sessions are offered. Licensed professionals and therapists aim to deliver the same therapeutic skills and collaborative planning online as they would in person.
