About Darcie

Darcie Kelly is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of practice. She holds the LICSW and LCSW credentials and provides therapy from her base in Montana. Her work focuses on practical change and meeting people where they are.

Darcie helps people manage depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress that gets in the way of daily life. She also supports people facing issues with eating and body image, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and questions around sexual and relationship diversity including polyamory and kink.

Background and approach

LGBT-related concerns and compassion fatigue are also part of her focus. Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with evidence-informed methods. Cognitive behavioral strategies and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are common tools she uses to shift unhelpful patterns.

She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness practices to slow things down and notice what matters most. Sessions are practical and direct. Darcie aims to create a relaxed, nonjudgmental space and to work collaboratively on clear goals.

Expect conversations about behavior change, small experiments to try between sessions, and attention to how relationships shape emotions. Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Indiana University, Bloomington, a Master of Social Work from Walla Walla College in Missoula, Montana, and additional graduate coursework in Applied Behavior Analysis from Montana State University.

That mix of training supports a focus on both understanding feelings and changing behavior. Darcie conducts therapy in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She does not accept international clients and practices in Montana.

Online support

How attachment and action come together online

Attachment-based ideas guide attention to how relationships shape feelings and behavior, helping people notice patterns in connection and closeness and how those patterns affect daily life. This approach can be useful for intimacy-related issues, grief, and relationship distress by clarifying needs and responses.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clear values and small committed actions. It helps people tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing behaviors that match what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, panic, and depressive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to identify which methods fit a person’s goals, preferences, and situation, and may combine techniques across approaches as needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone can fit a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can support ongoing tracking and brief processing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to try different formats to see what helps most.
