About

Dr. Anthony Kelley, LMFT, draws on a sixteen-year clinical career and prior service as a U.S. Army chaplain to offer focused, respectful care for people facing relational and trauma-related challenges. He is a licensed marriage and family therapist who emphasizes tailored plans that reflect each person's history and current needs, including work with dissociation and abuse through EMDR-informed methods.

His practice centers on relationship and family concerns, grief, and building self-esteem. He also addresses attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, communication difficulties, infidelity, and issues that emerge during life transitions. He combines several clinical approaches to match the goals a person brings to therapy.

Kelley aims to create an atmosphere of sensitivity and compassion while adapting dialogue and treatment to individual circumstances. He frames the first appointment as an opportunity to identify priorities and to co-create a path forward, supporting clients who are taking the step to pursue a more fulfilling life.

Remote therapy options and therapeutic style

Dr. Anthony Kelley integrates approaches that translate well to remote work. He uses EMDR to address trauma and dissociation in a structured way that can be adapted for online sessions. He also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy to explore attachment patterns and relationship dynamics, helping clients identify and shift interactional cycles.

Client-Centered and Solution-Focused elements guide how he collaborates with people, prioritizing the client’s goals and practical steps toward change. Sessions focus on the person’s stated concerns and on selecting techniques from his toolkit that fit the presenting issue. Kelley aims to work alongside clients rather than prescribing a single path.

Online sessions are offered via video calls and by phone, and additional communication options include live chat and text-based messaging. Those interested in remote care can discuss which combination of communication methods best supports their needs during the initial matching process.
