About Anna

Anna Lehew Kelley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in West Virginia who focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. She speaks plainly and treats people with respect while working together to find what helps. She understands starting therapy can feel risky and aims to make the first steps easier to take.

She draws on 12 years of clinical experience and a Master of Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on identifying the root of problems and building skills to manage them. Typical concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, grief, anger, low self-esteem, life changes, and ADHD. Her style is collaborative and nonjudgmental.

She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, test different ways of coping, and practice new behaviors. She also uses trauma-informed approaches when past events continue to affect daily life. Anna combines several evidence-based methods to shape treatment plans that match a person's goals.

She works with people facing divorce and separation, substance use issues, first responder or veteran-related concerns, infidelity, and post-traumatic stress. Her goal is to give practical tools people can use between sessions. Work is offered in English and delivered remotely through a range of online formats.

Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the process and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early and current relationships shape how people connect and feel safe. In online work this can mean talking through patterns with a therapist who helps name those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks big problems into small steps by spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different actions to change mood and behavior; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. They will suggest techniques from different methods and adjust the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays practical and focused on what the person wants to change.

Online sessions offer flexibility that fits many schedules. Video calls let people use visual cues and do deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, or follow-up between longer sessions, making it simpler to keep momentum during busy weeks.
