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.

The go-to approaches for helping people in family therapy are systemic therapy, structural therapy, and brief strategic family therapy.
The following tools can be used in family therapy: making positive observations, focusing on what family members want, and using non-violent communication.
Clients seem to be making meaningful progress in family therapy when there is an increase in empathy and compassion.
Clients can supplement their time in family therapy by spending quality time together at least once a week.
To prepare for their first family therapy session, an individual can write down questions or concerns that they want to work on.
Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Roanoke, VA usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Roanoke, VA offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
What you do affects those around you just as what they do affects you – physically, emotionally, mentally. It sounds a bit nerve racking when you stop to think about it; but in reality, this presents you with an amazing opportunity! Each interaction within your family is an opportunity to set a positive example or to nurture a good behavior pattern or positive attitude.
With such a big responsibility to handle, it’s often beneficial to seek the advice of qualified professional Roanoke counselors. The intricacies of your family relationships are a lot to think about, and this can be a very complicated web to untangle and manage effectively, especially when you try to manage them on your own. Is it possible to do so effectively? Of course, but is it worth the risk of getting it wrong? Fortunately, that’s why we at Thriveworks Roanoke Counseling exist – to help you effectively navigate and improve your closest relationships – those within your family. Participating Roanoke family counseling and therapy is something to be proud of!
At Thriveworks Roanoke Counseling for Families, we believe that the best approach to building stronger relationships with your family is to partner with a professional counselor or therapist who is experienced and has been highly trained to help with the issues and challenges that arise through this process. Our team of passionate, licensed Roanoke counselors, therapists, and psychologists are ready to help you develop strategies that really work for building the kinds of family relationships that you’ve always wanted.
The interactions with your family and the relationships you build with each member couldn’t be more important; in fact, the relationship model you learn from your family, or your family learns from you, actually extends outward into each member’s sphere of influence. As if the responsibility wasn’t big enough already! The success or failure of relationships outside of your family can be linked, at least in part, to the model of behavior you’ve shown within your family unit.
Today is the day to start down the path of improving your family relationships, and Thriveworks Roanoke Family Counseling and Therapy is the place to begin. We do our best to make your experience with us as seamless and productive as possible – we accept most major insurances, and we help most new clients schedule a session within 24 hours of the time they reach out to us.
