Kelly Conlon, LPC

Kelly Conlon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with eight years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, eating and body image concerns, parenting challenges, grief, addictions, and other life changes. Kelly also helps people navigating adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and family of origin problems.

She trained in Childhood and Family Development at the University of Georgia and completed a master’s in Clinical Psychology with emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy at Pepperdine University. Early work included college counseling, supporting people with Alzheimer’s and their families, and offering spiritual counseling. After returning to Georgia she worked in hospitals, residential and outpatient eating disorder programs, substance abuse treatment centers, and private practice.

Kelly uses several practical therapy approaches. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) tools to clarify values and take meaningful action. Attachment-based ideas are folded into work about family patterns and relationship concerns.

Her style is client-centered. Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. She combines skills teaching with reflection and coaching so people can try new ways of relating and coping between sessions.

Outside of work she likes hiking, cooking, reading, travel, and time with family and pets. That personal background informs a focus on everyday life challenges and parenting strain.
