About
As one who has experienced depression and anxiety in early adulthood, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to challenge limiting beliefs, discover their strengths, and speak life into the person they are becoming.
As a mental health therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful change. I provide a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can feel heard, understood, and empowered. Using an integrative approach that incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Person-Centered Therapy, I tailor treatment to each client's unique needs and goals. My purpose is to help clients recognize their strengths, challenge limiting beliefs, and speak life into the person they are becoming.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel heard, respected, and supported while exploring patterns holding them back. My approach is collaborative, helping clients build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and coping skills. Whether facing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or life transitions, my goal is greater confidence and resilience.
I believe meaningful change begins when we recognize our past experiences don't have to define our future. My role is to walk alongside clients as they gain clarity, build confidence, and discover the tools to create the life they desire. I encourage clients to find their voice and embrace their strengths, moving beyond coping toward lasting growth.

As a former school counselor, wife and mother of adult children, I bring both professional experience and real-life perspective to my work, creating a warm, compassionate and judgement -free space where clients feel understood, build their strengths, and find meaningful ways to navigate life's challenges.
Hello, I am Kelley Arrowood, a Resident in Counseling and National Certified Counselor based in Virginia. I hold a Master’s in Education in CACREP-accredited School Counseling from Liberty University and a Bachelor’s in Psychology with minors in Human Development and Women’s Studies from UNC Greensboro. For the last year and a half, I have served as a Resident in Counseling in outpatient settings; prior to that, I served seven years as lead school counselor in an elementary school. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation issues, grief, and family stress.
My therapeutic style is eclectic and person-centered. I draw from CBT, solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), DBT, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), motivational interviewing (MI), exposure therapy, play therapy, trauma-focused, and strengths-based approaches. My approach is compassionate, warm, practical, with a healthy dose of humor.
Life can be difficult, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I would feel privileged to hear your story and walk alongside you as you begin or continue your healing journey. Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but you deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. I invite you to schedule an initial appointment.

Hey, my name is Kayla Thorne! I have received my Doctorate in Human Services, Master of Social Work, and Bachelor of Arts in sociology. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2025 and have provided therapy to children, adolescents, and teenagers since 2023 as a Supervisee in Social Work. I have also provided therapy to college-aged students and adults since 2025. I enjoy the wide variety of clients that I work with who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and life changes. I work with the clients to set goals for therapy and help them achieve those goals throughout the therapy timeframe.
I use a cognitive-behavioral therapy approach and have specialized training in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress. I focus on active listening, cognitive restructuring, and assigning homework (as needed) between sessions to support continued growth.
Life can be challenging to navigate at times, especially when you feel anxious, stressed, or alone. I know it can be hard to find someone to trust to talk about your experiences when it seems impossible to deal with the life stressors. I'll be there to meet you where you are during those tough times, so feel free to book a session with me.
