About Kelley

Kelley Halter is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire with 15 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and anger. Her practice also addresses parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, and issues around identity and intimacy.

Kelley uses a straightforward, person-centered approach. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical strategies. She listens for patterns in how emotions show up, then helps people name and manage those patterns so they cause less disruption.

Her methods draw on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and on dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about relationship patterns and how past experiences shape current reactions. Emotionally-focused work supports people who want to better understand closeness and conflict.

Kelley also brings experience with adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and body image concerns. She notes these areas alongside broader concerns such as ADHD, bipolar conditions, eating and sleeping problems, and codependency.

Sessions emphasize skill-building for everyday life - communication skills, coping tools, and ways to reduce anger and reactivity. Kelley aims to help people find clearer options when they feel stuck, with practical steps they can try between sessions.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Kelley often uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Client-centered work focuses on the client's priorities and encourages clear, direct conversation about what matters most. CBT teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts that feed anger and anxiety. DBT provides specific emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills to reduce reactivity and manage strong feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kelley will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together as needs change.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in real-life settings and bring immediate examples from home or work into session for feedback.
