About Kelsey
Kelsey Hackler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches to help clients manage day-to-day challenges and build clearer routines. Her work often focuses on attention and executive function difficulties, along with issues like low self-esteem, relationship strain, and career stress.
Kelsey also supports people navigating identity and intimacy concerns, and those dealing with grief, anger, or caregiver strain.
Background and approach
She uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. Sessions include clear goals and practical skills to try between meetings. Clients can expect direct but compassionate conversation and concrete strategies they can apply at home or work.
Kelsey tailors each plan to fit a person’s life, values, and comfort level. She pays attention to what feels doable and adjusts interventions to match daily routines and responsibilities. Her background in social work includes many different settings, so she is used to helping people with complex, overlapping problems.
That experience informs how she combines tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, and solution-focused work to meet individual needs. Kelsey aims to leave people with more manageable steps and a clearer sense of direction after each session. She works from Florida and offers sessions in English for adults seeking practical support and skills.
How approach and access come together online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most to them, then take small guided actions toward those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes when someone wants clearer direction rather than just symptom relief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and testing them against real-life evidence, then building new routines and skills. It often helps with anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and attention-related difficulties by giving practical tools to change behavior and focus.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Those exercises can support emotion regulation, impulsivity control, and managing overwhelming moments in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. Together they will pick methods that match the client’s needs, lifestyle, and what feels doable between sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls work well for therapy-style conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep momentum and use skills consistently between appointments.
