About Kelly
Kelly Goodman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Oregon with 17 years of clinical practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Kelly also helps people with parenting strain, self-esteem, career challenges, ADHD, and issues related to LGBT identity.
Kelly’s work began in community mental health and public health settings. She supported people through housing-first programs, intensive case management, and medical respite services. That experience shaped a practical approach: make sure basic needs are addressed before expecting therapy work to progress.
She has provided services in emergency department settings and in adolescent psychiatric care, conducting mental health and risk assessments. Kelly taught peer counseling and chronic pain management classes and supported people applying for benefits when needed.
In sessions she uses clear, down-to-earth methods drawn from attachment-focused work, client-centered practice, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She helps people identify patterns, practice new coping skills, and weigh small changes that fit everyday life.
Her personal background includes caregiving for someone with long-term cancer, experience with adoption, and work across diverse communities. Kelly aims to combine practical problem solving with an awareness of how trauma shapes behavior and relationships. She invites people to discuss what they need and to consider realistic steps forward.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this can mean looking at how you relate to others and testing small changes in communication and trust. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's concerns and preferences; the therapist listens, reflects, and helps people decide what matters most in their life right now. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals, life demands, and what feels practical, and then try methods that match those priorities. The process is collaborative and adjusts as needs change.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week - for example offering a shorter check-in on a break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a phone session when video would be difficult. These practical benefits make it easier to use therapy alongside work, caregiving, medical appointments, or other commitments.
