About Darcie

Darcie Kelly is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience in mental health care. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and has worked across different settings to help people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and life stressors. Darcie takes a straightforward, practical approach and meets people where they are in their lives.

She uses a range of therapy styles to match each person's needs. That can include strategies to change unhelpful behaviors, ways to notice and work with painful thoughts, and tools to build stronger emotional connections.

Background and approach

She also addresses concerns around eating, body image, intimacy, and sexual concerns including kink and nontraditional relationship structures. Darcie blends brain science with talk-based work. Sessions may include focused skill practice, problem-solving, and mindful awareness exercises.

She aims to create a warm, inviting space that avoids judgment and supports steady progress toward the goals people bring to therapy. Parents and caregivers will find her language plain and practical. She frames change as a series of small steps and offers concrete ideas that can be tried between sessions.

She also helps people facing grief, compassion fatigue, and the ripple effects of past abuse. Her background includes graduate training in social work and additional graduate study in applied behavior analysis. That mix complements her use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-informed work, and solution-focused methods.

Darcie practices from Montana and conducts sessions in English.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then identify actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and feelings of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and practicing small experiments to change them. CBT is often used for panic, mood disorders, and worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns with others and supports building safer, more satisfying connections in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress moves forward, so the process is collaborative and responsive to real-life needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a session fits into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, tracking homework, or quick support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
