Kelsey Hofer, LPCC, LPC

Kelsey Hofer is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience. She works with people dealing with anger along with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and stress-related issues. She also addresses concerns related to sexuality, gender dysphoria, and experiences of discrimination.

Kelsey holds a master's degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Trauma Studies. She has worked in victim services supporting people affected by sexual assault, physical assault, stalking, and homicide. That background shapes how she responds to people who have survived violence or difficult events and who struggle with symptoms like post-traumatic stress and dissociation.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She helps people name patterns that keep causing distress and practice tools that change day-to-day reactions. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding how past experiences shape current problems.

Kelsey draws on several approaches including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative methods, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused interventions. She uses these approaches to address problems such as low self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.

People seeking support for kink-affirming concerns, BDSM and alternative sex culture topics can bring those issues into sessions. She also works with issues around sexual assault and abuse, domestic violence, and seasonal affective disorder. Sessions are conducted in English and follow her professional licensure in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
