I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with a Master's in Social Work and several years of experience across a range of settings, including individual counseling and suicide prevention programs in rural Texas schools. I work with children and adolescents navigating self-esteem, trauma, social challenges, anxiety, depression, coping skills, and behavioral issues, as well as adults facing trauma, mood and personality disorders, interpersonal difficulties, anxiety, and depression. My clients are often seeking space to build resilience, deepen self-understanding, and develop tools for lasting change.

I integrate DBT and CBT for practical coping skills, play therapy for younger clients, and psychodynamic work to explore deeper roots of struggle through a trauma-informed and culturally responsive lens. Using motivational interviewing, I meet clients where they are, helping them build insight, resilience, and lasting change at their own pace.

Whatever brought you here, know that reaching out takes real courage, and you don't have to carry it alone. As someone who understands the cultural weight placed on silence and strength, I hold space for you to feel seen, respected, and understood, as you are. I'd be honored to walk alongside you as you take this next step toward healing.

Hi, I'm Kelsey Bass, M.A., LPC. I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), life transitions, relationship challenges, and stress. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we work to better understand your experiences, develop effective coping skills, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change in a supportive and collaborative environment where you feel heard and valued.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centered techniques to help you process difficult experiences, build practical coping skills, and create the lasting, meaningful change you deserve.

Reaching out for support takes courage, and you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Whether you're navigating a difficult season or seeking personal growth, I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey. When you're ready, I invite you to take the first step toward healing and lasting change.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist with experience supporting adults and teens navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, burnout, self-esteem, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I often work with clients who appear capable and successful on the outside but are struggling internally or repeating patterns they’re ready to change. My clients are often seeking greater clarity, healthier relationships, stronger boundaries, emotional balance, and a deeper understanding of themselves so they can move forward with confidence and intention.

I take a direct, supportive, and collaborative approach to therapy, combining evidence-based strategies with honest conversation and practical tools you can use outside of sessions. Together, we identify patterns, strengthen coping skills and boundaries, and build greater self-awareness so you can create lasting, meaningful change.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for something to change, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity and intention. When you’re ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment and take that next step for yourself.
