About Darcie

Darcie Kelly is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW, LCSW) licensed in New Hampshire and Montana with about 20 years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating and food-related concerns, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and parenting concerns. She also works with people dealing with grief, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and changes in life circumstance.

Kelly uses practical, behavior-focused methods alongside talk therapy. Sessions tend to be direct and goal-oriented. She includes approaches that look at thoughts and behaviors, patterns of attachment, and present-moment awareness. That means clients can expect a mix of skills practice, reflection, and real-world problem solving.

Her training includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master of Social Work, plus additional graduate coursework in applied behavior analysis. Those academic experiences inform a focus on behavior change and measurable steps. She draws on cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused ideas to keep work concrete and actionable.

Kelly also works with sexual concerns, including nontraditional relationship structures and kink, and with trauma related to sexual assault and abuse. She names attachment-based work as part of how she helps people untangle relationship patterns and build more workable connections.

Sessions are offered in English and she does not take international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, visitors are asked to use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

BHow sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter. It combines practical exercises with notice-and-accept techniques to reduce avoidance and move toward meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, using skills practice and experiments to change patterns and reduce symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect emotional responses and connection, and it helps people shift those patterns in everyday relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use practices learned in sessions in the settings where they live and work. Licensed professionals adapt techniques like ACT and CBT to work effectively across distance, and the therapist will help choose a cadence and format that suits everyday routines.
