About Kelly

Kelly Muratorri is a licensed counselor who focuses on Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches. She is an LPC and LMHC with seven years of experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and related challenges.

Kelly helps clients make sense of difficult feelings and events in simple, practical ways. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps that build coping skills and reduce overwhelm. She uses trauma-focused methods when past events are getting in the way of day-to-day life.

Her practice also addresses self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting concerns, and adjusting to life changes. Kelly has worked with people affected by chronic illness and pain, abandonment and attachment issues, and those on the autism spectrum. She has experience supporting first responders and veterans as well.

Kelly describes her approach as compassionate and evidence-informed. She aims to listen first, then tailor interventions to what each person needs. Faith-informed perspectives are available when a client wants them.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations about goals and progress. The work emphasizes practical tools as well as emotional understanding. Kelly offers support designed to help people regain a sense of control and move forward.

How Kelly’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people process past events that continue to cause distress. It often involves stabilizing coping skills and then gently addressing memories and triggers so daily life becomes easier.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new responses to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, uses guided attention and memory work to lessen the intensity of traumatic memories. It can be useful when past events keep affecting current emotions and behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care across locations. If you plan to work online, confirm what session formats are available before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful for regular check-ins, skills practice, and trauma processing when scheduled around daily responsibilities.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
