Kaylee Murphy
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply not like yourself lately? Maybe you're navigating a relationship challenge, a major life transition, stress at work, anxiety, low mood, or a pattern you know isn't working for you anymore. I'm Kaylee Murphy, LICSW, and I work with adults who want to feel better, understand themselves more deeply, and make meaningful changes in their lives. My style is warm, supportive, and down-to-earth, but I'm also active and practical in our work together. I won't just sit back and listen—I’ll help you identify patterns, develop new perspectives, and find concrete ways to move forward. I take a holistic approach to emotional well-being. Along with evidence-based therapy, we may look at how relationships, daily habits, movement, sleep, stress, and self-care are affecting how you feel. I know reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you're used to handling things on your own. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, talking honestly about what's going on, and working toward a life that feels more manageable, fulfilling, and genuinely yours.
First session
After each session with me, clients can expect to feel understood and empowered. We'll uncover your innate strength, resilience, and the skills necessary to tackle the challenges you face. If you want homework; I'll assign it. If you don't; no problem! Our collaborative journey will aim at not only providing relief but also at building a foundation for lasting well-being,
Strengths
I bring warmth, curiosity, and many years of experience to my sessions. I’m an active therapist. I listen closely, but I’ll also ask thoughtful questions, offer honest feedback, and help you see patterns or possibilities you may not have considered. One of my greatest strengths is helping people take what they understand intellectually and actually turn it into meaningful change. I balance compassion with practical strategies, and I tailor our work to you rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable being completely yourself in our sessions. Therapy can address serious things, but there can also be room for humor, hope, and recognizing what’s already working well in your life.
Ideal clients
I love working with clients in times of transition such as relationship endings, divorce, job loss, graduating from college. I work well with clients dealing with stress and anxiety. Also, I have expertise in sustainable weight loss (using cbt) and insomnia. I am part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
