Anna Lehew Kelley

Anna Lehew Kelley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people handle big life shifts and everyday stress. She speaks plainly and works in a nonjudgmental, collaborative way so clients can take practical steps forward. Anna encourages people who feel nervous about starting therapy and treats that first step as a sign of strength.

Anna has a Master of Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh and 12 years of clinical experience. She practices in West Virginia and focuses on anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also addresses divorce and separation, infidelity, first responder concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, and young adult challenges.

Her sessions center on identifying patterns that keep people stuck and trying out doable changes. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to improve connection and emotion regulation techniques from DBT when strong feelings get in the way.

When trauma is involved, she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, alongside other approaches, to help process difficult memories. Anna works with each person to choose practical tools that match their situation and goals. She can help people build skills for managing distress and improving day-to-day functioning.

How Anna’s approaches translate to online work

Anna frequently uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills to manage mood and reactions.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas that focus on improving relationships and emotional connection. That approach helps when relationship patterns or trust issues are part of the problem. When trauma is present, she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to process painful memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, listen to your goals, and try approaches that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust techniques over time based on what helps most.
