My counselor listens to me and I am so appreciative that whenever our appointment she so vividly is totally cognizant of our last appointments topics, readings, and potential work (which I absolutely LOVE!?). My counselor gives me confidence in my future even tho I have none myself.

Hello, my name is Kelly Gulat (last name pronounced 'goo-lot'). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 10 years of experience providing therapy and over 20 years working in the mental health field. I enjoy helping clients find their most fulfilling path in life. We are whole people and as such, I focus on the many aspects of life that contribute to each person's wellbeing. Some topics that therapy is especially helpful in addressing are stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, personal identity, gender identity, culture, spirituality, acceptance, self-esteem, health and wellness, communication, family matters, boundaries, motivation, confidence, goals, and of course change. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I look forward to getting to know you and partnering with you on your journey of self-discovery.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I can't speak highly enough about Kelly's expertise and dedication. From the first session, I felt a sense of comfort and trust. Her deep understanding of human psychology and her ability to listen without judgment were truly remarkable. Throughout our sessions, she consistently demonstrated remarkable skill in guiding me through my thoughts and emotions, helping me gain valuable insights and coping strategies. Her empathetic approach made me feel heard and validated, creating a safe space for me to open up and address my concerns. I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate therapist!

Kelly was the second therapist I chose, but number one in my book. Kelly has a calm, smiling, supportive demeanor that made me feel at ease. The suggestions Kelly offered were helpful and the various articles she shared and responses to my journal entry thoughtful and relevant. Sessions with Kelly came to feel like I was talking to a trusted friend. I highly recommend her.
