About Anthony
He focuses on relationship concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem. Additional areas he addresses include attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, dissociation, and problems with communication and control. He also helps people dealing with infidelity, separation, first responder stress, and questions about life purpose.
Dr. Kelley uses EMDR and trauma-focused methods when trauma and dissociation are part of the picture. He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused work to shape treatment. He aims to tailor sessions to each person's needs rather than using one fixed approach.
In sessions he prioritizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He will listen closely to a person’s story and work together to set practical goals. That might mean addressing painful memories, improving communication, or building tools to manage stress and guilt.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and emotional bonds. Online sessions using this approach help people notice how past relationships shape current reactions and work on new ways of connecting and communicating.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) guides people to name and sit with strong emotions so they can change unhelpful interaction patterns. In an online setting EFT can be used to slow down moments of conflict, identify feelings, and practice new responses during or between sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their intensity. When EMDR is appropriate, the therapist will explain how it can fit into an overall care plan and whether elements of the method are a good match for your goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their history, priorities, and what feels most helpful. Together they will pick or combine methods to match the client’s needs and preferences rather than sticking to a single model.
Session logistics and formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work helps them fit therapy into busy lives, manage follow-up between sessions, and reduce travel time. Online conversations can also make it easier to arrange shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling when needed.
