Empowered Counseling 
Affordable Counseling for Adults and Teens (13+)
Celia Kelly, MA, LPCC

My Approach

I believe that every couple has the potential to deepen their connection, even when patterns of conflict or disconnection feel overwhelming. My approach is evidence-based, compassionate, and tailored to your unique relationship. I draw from:

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Helps couples identify and express underlying emotions, creating a stronger bond.

• Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT): Focuses on understanding patterns, acceptance, and practical strategies for change.

In therapy, we explore both emotions and behaviors, helping you understand the “why” behind recurring conflicts and giving you practical tools to improve communication and rebuild trust.

 

Who I Work With

I specialize in working with couples who are experiencing:

• Communication challenges or recurring arguments

• Trust issues or infidelity

• Intimacy and emotional connection concerns

• Major life transitions (career changes, moving, illness, or parenting challenges)

• Blended family dynamics and parenting disagreements

Whether you’re seeking to repair a struggling relationship, strengthen an already healthy connection, or navigate a transition with support, I provide a safe, structured space to do this work.

 

What Therapy with Me Looks Like

• A collaborative space where both partners feel heard and respected

• Focus on identifying patterns that keep you stuck and learning strategies to change them

• Homework and exercises to practice skills between sessions (optional, at your comfort level)
