Kelsey Hackler, LCSW

Kelsey Hackler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Florida with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, ADHD, parenting strain, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and intended for people located in Florida.

Kelsey uses practical psychotherapy methods to help people manage strong emotions and life changes. She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to help clients notice thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set small, doable goals and track progress.

In session she helps people name patterns that keep problems going - for example avoidance, piling resentment, or impulsive reactions. She will work with straightforward tools such as thought reappraisal, behavioral experiments, and short exercises to build different responses to stress and anger. The focus is on clear steps someone can try between meetings.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of South Florida and long experience across community mental health settings. That work exposed her to a range of concerns including serious mood disorders, trauma, and difficulties with self-esteem and interpersonal conflict.

People who are looking to manage anger, rethink relationship patterns, or handle work and caregiving stress will find a direct, skills-based approach. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule the first session through the site's online flow.
